Adding a additional Confluence Space Template
Asked by Henry Auffahrt:

Hello everyone,

for every new customer, we are creating an own confluence space in our confluence cloud instance for all the project information and documentation.

When creating a new confluence space, we see this screen:

![Screenshot 2022-09-09 at 05.59.33.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/215142iB50B9EADE4F36137/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2022-09-09 at 05.59.33.png")

*++My question is:++* **Is it somehow easy, possible to add our own space template here?** That would be very useful for all our project managers if they onboard a new customer.

On my own research, I read about the possibility to use [blueprints](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/blueprints/) with confluence connect. But creating our [own app with confluence connect](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/multi-page-blueprints-with-confluence-connect/) on the [forge platform](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/getting-started/) for this use case seams a bit overengineered.

Any suggestions for solving this problem the easy way?

Templates are really easy to setup. Here is some information to get you started.

body: Hello Brant, please read my question carefully. I'm asking for Confluence **Space** Template, not for regular Confluence Templates.

Or is it with the links you provided also possible to create ++**Space**++ Templates?

body: [@Henry Auffahrt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1386237) Sorry I should have read that more carefully. You are correct on creating a space template the route you listed is correct. I know of some individuals that created a space the way they wanted it and then exported it, manipulated the XML and would reimport it. This would basically copy the space and they used it as their template. I think it would be just as much work to learn how to use blueprints. You can also use an app from marketplace to create a space that you could copy.

body: Hi [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) thanks a lot for clarifying... I think the app could be a good solution for us. I like to give some Apps, that solve the problem in minutes, a try... If we really need this feature very often, we could have a look into the use of blueprints.

are there any news about own Confluence **Space** Template? We did not use any app because we would rather not have it that complicated.   

It should be out of the box possible to create our own Confluence **Space** Templates.

Thanks a lot.

Henry
