I am new to DocuSign and didn't find this brought up in previous discussions.

It seems that all of the instructions on how to use template matching is to start a new envelope. Is there a way to initiate template matching when creating a new template? All I want to do is update the text and layout of an existing template by uploading a new version of the original document the existing template is based off of.

I see in the template list I can "Include" each template in matching, but nothing happens when I upload the new version of the existing template document, it just creates a new template and no visible way to merge the two.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.  

I understand that you are looking to start your template-matching process from the Templates tab, and I will gladly share more details on the topic.

Template matching will only apply to documents being uploaded into an envelope at this moment.

As a workaround, you could upload your document without sending the envelope. This will be saved as a draft (Manage>Drafts>Save as a template) that can later be saved as a template.

For more details on how to work with drafts, see:

Envelope Status

OK, thanks. Seems a bit clunky, but if it works..

I would like to officially submit a feature request that template matching works in the template tab, seems reasonable enough. :)

Thanks,
