Now, a list, containing all existing room templates, opens, which can also be searched if required. Only members of a room template can view the template and, given the appropriate right groups, edit it. Templates available to you are highlighted in black. If the template is grayed out, you do not have the appropriate rights. Each template can be used by everyone when creating a room.

How to edit a room template

After creating the room template / selecting the existing template, it will be displayed directly. Within this template, all required changes, such as creating tasks or uploading files, can now be made. It is also possible to add all users and individual right groups that should be included in the room by default.
Only a member of the room with the appropriate rights can edit a template. (For non-authorized users, the room template is grayed out). It is not necessary to save the template separately.
