Locked Templates
We've added the ability to lock templates to prevent any updates.
The "Lock" and "Unlock" options can be found in the "…" menu on the Templates page.
We are planning to add support for template versions in the future. In the meantime, you can use template locks and duplication to create a versioning workflow:
- Lock your template before you start using it in production.
- If you need to make any changes to the template, click "Duplicate" to create a copy of the template.
- Add a version number to your template name, e.g. "Template v2".
- Make all of the necessary changes.
- Generate some test PDFs from your dev or staging environment.
- Lock the new template.
- Update the template ID in your code or configuration files to start using the new template.
You could also create a folder for each template to hold all of the different versions.
