# Manage Pattern Templates

**Admins and Owners** can manage the shared catalog from **Workspace Settings → Pattern Templates**, or **Manage Pattern Templates** in the account menu. This section appears only in workspaces where Pattern Templates are available.

To create a template or use one in a project, see [Work with Pattern Templates](/manage-a-project/pattern-templates.md).

## Review a template

Use the status filter to view available, archived, or all templates. Each row identifies the template and its gender and Pattern Type.

The row actions let you:

* **Create a pattern** from an available template using the project creation dialog.
* **Preview** the pieces using the template configuration and the current anatomical set, without creating a project.
* **View saved measurements**, including saved values and the template adjustment for each personalized measurement.
* **View linked patterns**, including archived projects and projects linked only through saved versions. Select a project to open it.
* **View tags** in a separate list.

The saved-measurements view describes the adjustments captured in the template; it is not a live measurement chart for a particular project. Adjustments can be multipliers, additions or subtractions, or fixed values.

A catalog thumbnail shows the saved preview. Open **Preview** to inspect the result with the current anatomical measurements.

## Edit template details

Open the row's **More actions** menu, choose **Edit details**, update the name, optional description or tags, and save. Clear the description to remove it. Linked projects show the updated template name when reloaded. Editing these details does not change the saved measurement adjustments or project tags.

In **Dashboard → Templates**, Admins and Owners can also use **Edit details** in the action row below the template's tags to update its name, description and tags. Descriptions appear in the catalog and workspace settings, where you can also search by description. Tags appear in the dashboard catalog; workspace settings show them through the **View tags** button. Use the dashboard sidebar to filter templates by their tags, or search by tag name in workspace template settings. Admins and Owners can create workspace tags from the selector; members can select existing tags when saving a new template.

Template names must be unique in the workspace, including archived templates.

## Archive or restore a template

Choose **Archive** from **More actions** and confirm to remove a template from the choices for new projects. Existing linked projects and versions continue to use it.

To make it available again, display archived templates, choose **Restore**, and confirm.

## Permanently delete a template

1. Choose **Delete** from **More actions**.
2. Review the linked projects, including those linked through saved versions.
3. Select the confirmation checkbox and enter **DELETE** as requested.
4. Confirm the deletion.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Deleting a template disconnects its linked projects and saved versions. Projects remain, but return to standard Pattern Type calculations, which can change measurements and geometry. Archive the template instead when existing projects must retain its behavior.
{% endhint %}

If the affected projects change while you are reviewing the deletion, reopen the review before confirming.
