Creating and Sharing Templates in Poppy

Templates give you a starting point so you're not building from scratch every time. Use them personally or share them with other Poppy users.

Method 1: Personal Templates (Duplicate Your Own Boards)

How to Duplicate Boards

  1. Go to your Poppy home page (where you see all your boards)

  2. Find the board you want to duplicate

  3. Click the three vertical dots on the left side of that board name

  4. Select "Duplicate Board"

This creates a fresh copy with all your content ready to go. Common use case: keeping a board with your business information, brand voice, or SOPs that you reuse as a starting point for new projects.

Method 2: Shareable Templates (For Other Poppy Users)

Getting Template Creation Permissions

Contact customer support through the chat in your Poppy account and request template creation permissions. We'll manually enable this feature for your account.
​

Creating Your Shareable Template

  1. Build your template board exactly how you want others to receive it

  2. Click the "Share" button at the top of your board

  3. Uncheck the option "Listed in templates gallery" (unless you want it publicly posted on our templates page)

  4. Click "Copy Link to Share"

Creating a link to share your template so that other poppy users can use your template as a starting point

Anyone with a Poppy account can use this link to copy your board and use it on their own. They get a complete copy of your board structure, groups, sources, and organization. Chat history does NOT get copied.


Updating Your Template

When you make changes to your template board:

  1. Make your changes to the board

  2. Click the "Share" button

  3. Select the option to save changes to your template link

This updates the template for everyone who uses the link moving forward.

Template vs. Collaboration

Templates = Someone gets their own copy to use independently

Collaboration = Multiple people work together on the same board

For working together on one board, see our Board Collaboration Guide.
