With deal templates, you can easily create and edit templates for commonly used deal structures. This can help reduce the time and effort required to create new proposals, and further standardise and streamline your proposal creation process.

Create a template

To create a new deal template, simply select the "Save as deal template..." option from the deal menu.

Follow the steps below to save it as a template:

Select the deal that you want to use as a template.
Click the More actions button (three dots) in the upper right corner,
Select Save as deal template...
Give it a title and click Save

Save as deal template action

Save as deal template dialog

Browsing templates

Once the deal template is saved, you can easily access it from the Library page under the Deals tab and make any necessary updates or modifications as needed.

Editing templates

You can edit the contents of a deal template just like a normal deal, however there are a couple of minor differences to be aware of:

No draft/approve/close workflows
Reduced set of actions
Non-editable due date, start date and account settings
The start date always defaults to the start of the next calendar year (if you are exporting a deal template)

Templates support versions just like deals. Estii saves a version before you sync a template with the space, and you can save, preview, restore, rename or delete versions manually.
