    If I share as a template my co-workers can only copy-but not edit-right?

    Hi Deborah,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. No one can edit the template you shared. They can only use it on their form and then modify it to fit their requirement. But note, sharing templates is subject to review. It won't be available immediately to your co-workers. I suggest sharing your form's URL and letting them clone it instead. Cloning an Existing Form From a URL is easy. Share the following steps with your co-worker:

    1. On your Workspace page, click on Create on the top-left side of the page.

    2. Select Form from the assets, and then click on Import Form.

    3. In the next window, click on From a Web Page

    4. Paste the form link into the Enter URL field and click on Create Form.

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any other help.
