We recommend that you deactivate templates that you are no longer using, instead of deleting them so that you can keep historic information about your projects over time. For information about deactivating a template, see Edit project templates.

IMPORTANT
When you delete a template, the projects that are using that template are not modified in any way. However, you can no longer see the name of the original template in the Template field on the project. Additionally, you can no longer view the names of the template tasks for the tasks on the project in a task view. The Template field on the project and the Template Task field on the tasks remain blank after the template originally associated with the project is deleted.

Considerations for deleting templates

  • The tasks which were added to projects when the template was attached remain on the projects. However, the template task information associated with the tasks is deleted.

  • The name of the template is no longer listed in the Template field on the Overview sub-tab of the project.

  • You can recover a recently deleted template from the Recycle Bin. For information about recovering items from the Recycle Bin, see Restore deleted items.
