Custom templates have long been a part of Hive, but with this new feature we're releasing dozens of pre-made templates. These are built to get your team up-and-running in Hive as fast as possible, and are built out for a variety of workflows, organization types, and teams.
Already working in Hive and looking for a new way to lay out or imagine your projects? Templates can easily be applied and added to an existing workspace. There are a few different ways to add a template from our new extensive template library into your workspace.
The first way is by visiting our Template Library directly from the blue "?" in the upper right hand corner of the app.
Once you select "Template Library," you'll see a pop-up with a variety of templates to choose from. The search bar allows you to plug in relevant terms and find a template that works for you a bit faster, or you can sort by category, which are broken down on the left.
After clicking on your desired template, you'll see a pop-up that explains a little more about it, and you'll be prompted to apply the template by clicking "Use Template."
From there, the template will be added into your workspace and is ready to use, customize, and make your own.
The second way is from the create-project screen. Click +New → Project (or Create project in Project navigator). Under Looking for a starting point?, click Browse Hive templates to open the library, then choose a template and click Use Template.
To start from one of your own team's templates instead, choose Use a template and pick it under Select template.
