January 12, 2024 Paul Sills

You can use another project you have created on BIM 360 Docs as a template by selecting it when you get to the activate services page after creating a new project.

It will be available on the Document Management activation only once you activate Document Management you cant go back and try to apply a template or change the one you used.

Create a new project from the Account Admin module > Projects tab > click on the blue Add button.

Everything with an asterisk needs to be filled out. When you click on the blue ‘Save & Continue’ button you will go to the Activate Services.

You will now see to the left 'Copy project settings' and to the right 'Please assign a project administrator'. If you have 'Projects' or 'Template Projects' to choose from they will show in the dropdown menu.
