For some reason, one of the sessions I’ve set up as a Template is not allowing others to duplicate it. Has anyone run into this issue (it was working fine until recently).

Welcome to the community, @Yoel_Berznoger! We’re happy to see you here 🙂

Are you referring to the ability for others to duplicate an entire workspace they have been added to? I believe this was set up as a custom role in your organization. Can you share what workspace roles are available for you to select?

Hey @Yoel_Berznoger

The ‘template’ role was depreciated when we implemented template sharing within the workspace.

There are two options available to achieve the outcome you are looking for.

1. [Save the content as a custom template](https://community.bluescape.com/t/adding-custom-templates-to-a-workspace-web/560) and then [share the template](https://community.bluescape.com/t/sharing-a-custom-template-web/766) with team members. The beauty of this is they can place the template in any new or existing workspace.

2. Work with your organization admin to create a custom workspace role that mimics the old template role. Members added with this role could view and duplicate the entire workspace.

I recommend option 1 as it provides more flexibility and control over shared content. 😃
