Global Template Updates

LaunchBay's Global Template Updates feature enables you to apply changes made to a project template to all active projects previously created from that template.

This article will explain how the Global Template Updates feature works in LaunchBay and how to use it.

How to Update Active Projects Created From Templates

Updating Tasks and Stages

After adding a new task or stage to a project template, or moving a stage to a new location, a modal will open asking if you'd like to apply those changes to active projects previously created from the template.

To apply your changes to all active projects, click "Yes" in the modal.

Updating Portal Pages

Portal pages within a template can be edited at any time, and those changes can be propagated to all associated child projects. This ensures consistent client experiences and simplifies template management.

When adding or editing a portal page in a template, LaunchBay prompts you to review your changes before applying them. During this step, you'll see which projects will be affected, allowing you to confirm and control updates before they go live.

Limitations of Global Template Updates

To avoid potential conflicts with pre-existing tasks and stages in your active LaunchBay projects, you will only be prompted to apply template updates globally when you:

• Create a new task or stage
• Drag an existing stage to a new location
• Create or edit portal pages

In other words, you will not be prompted to apply Global Template Updates when you:

• Edit an existing task via the task composer
• Edit the name of an existing stage
