This blog post will guide you through the process of sharing a Notion template, handling publishing, permissions and allowing duplicates as templates.

Publishing Your Notion Template

First things first, before sharing your template with others, you need to make it public. Here's how:
1. Open the Share menu
Find the ‘Share’ button located at the top-right corner of your Notion window and click it.
2. Enable 'Publish to web'
In the opened Share menu, find the switch next to 'Publish to web' and click it to enable sharing via a link.
3. Click on 'Copy Link'
After enabling 'Share to the web', click on ‘Copy Link’. This copies your shareable link to your clipboard. Your Notion page is now published and ready to share.
Managing Permissions and Allowing Duplicates
While it’s wonderful to be able to share your work with others, you also want to protect your content. Notion allows you to control permissions and enable duplication of your templates.
1. Set up permissions
Familiarize yourself with Notion's different permission levels - 'Can Edit', 'Can Comment', and 'Can View'. For templates you wish to share, the typical setting is 'Can View'.
2. Allow 'Duplicate as template'
By default, anyone with a view-only link can duplicate your template into their own workspace. Under the 'Share to the web' toggle, ensure the 'Allow Duplicate as Template' option is enabled.
Conclusion
Sharing your templates on Notion is a terrific way to provide value to your team, audience or community. With the knowledge of how to publish, permit and duplicate your Notion templates, you can share your organization and productivity strategies with anyone! Remember, you retain full control, allowing others to view and clone your templates without compromising your original content. Happy sharing!
