Creating a Template
The template feature allows users to create a template from their saved work so that they can reuse it later. To create a new template, click the top icon with template icon on the Excel-like Tables screen.

A window will appear on your screen, asking for the template name. A notification will appear on your screen once you click the ‘Create’ button.

Limitation
We value our customers' data privacy. Thus, Excel-like Tables for Confluence do not store customers' data. Your tables and templates will stay inside of your Confluence instance. Due to this reason, there is a limitation with this feature.
If you are creating a template from your saved work, this won’t be a problem. If you want to create a template without saving your Confluence page, this will be a problem because we save your template as a page attachment.
Alternatively, you can create a Confluence page that contains a list of your templates. You can refer to the below steps.
Open a dedicated Confluence page to store your templates.
Open Excel-like Tables for Confluence.
Design your template.
Save it as a template.
Save the table.
Publish the page.
