Sharing templates¶
You can share a template with partners or business associates. The template will be available for use in tests in the accounts you share it to.
It is not possible to share templates with non-sharable components.
The person sharing a template is called the “sharer” on this page, and the person receiving a shared template is referred to as the “sharee”.
How to share a template¶
