Create template

This endpoint allows API users to create a template by flattening an existing document.

Template - an entity that holds the structure of a document and serves for generating its copies.

SignNow users cannot make a template without uploading a document first. They can generate (clone) a new instance of a document from it.

Recipients always sign a document generated from the template, never the template itself. Each generated document can be customized for its recipient, for example prefilled with account info. Templates can be shared within a team and edited only by the owner.

For the full flow, from creating the template to sending the generated document for signature, see Documents, doc groups, and templates.
