Apply a Project Template to a New Project
Objective
To apply a project template to a new project.
Background
Procore makes it easy to set up new projects within your company by applying preferences, file structures and more from a previous project to a new project upon its creation. Project templates are the best way to ensure that any new project is created in your Procore account using a default set of configurations.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permission:
- A user account with Procore Administrator permission.
OR - An active user account in the Company Directory that has been granted the privilege to create new projects by a Procore Administrator. See Allow Users to Create New Projects.
- A user account with Procore Administrator permission.
- Prerequisites:
- Complete the steps in Configure a Project Template.
- Additional Information:
- Templates can only be applied to new projects at the time the project is created.
- After a project is created, you cannot apply a new template or switch to a different template.
- If a project template is updated by your Procore Administrator, those updates only affect new projects. They do NOT affect existing projects.

For companies using the
ERP Integrations tool: If you will be importing a job for an integrated ERP system to add a new Procore project, you will need to select the project template to apply to your new Procore project. For details visit Things to Know About Your ERP Integration.
