Convert Template to Template Link

We should be able to convert an existing template to a template link. Today, we have to completely recreate the template as a template link. Ideally, we should be able to just toggle an existing template to convert it to a shareable link.

    Hey datha, could you clarify the templates you're referring to for us?

     

    Thanks!

      I think what she is saying is that if we already have a template set up and configured the way we want it, but it was not setup as "template link" initially, we should be able to convert it or create the template link after the fact, vs. setting up a whole new template. I'm trying to do this now, I'm new to the platform and am concerned that I have hours and hours of work ahead of me to make our existing templates into template links so we can link them from our website! We have complex application forms with dozens of fields and this will be a lot of repeat work.
