Teams copy folders to a new team

Hi 

I wanted to know if its possible to setup a Team and use it as a template for new teams and chanels.

Im using teams for PM work and currently have to create a new team for a new project, but have to create the whole project folder structure and documents within said folders for every new project, this takes time and is rather annoying, any ideas?

  • Nickruther Hi, have a look at the Teams custom templates.

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/create-a-team-template

     

    Btw, look to the left in the navigation bar as well to see other options such as "create a template from an existing team in Microsoft Teams". Note the preview/early release info though.

        Hi Nickruther, how exactly did you do it? I have the same problem, but I don't understand your solution.
