Workflow templates is a library of templates that contains all workflow scenarios that you build once and use everywhere.
This is a great way to standardize your deployment process without reinventing the wheel as it allows you to stay DRY (don't repeat yourself) even at the workflow level. You no longer need to don't copy and paste YAML files and manually change them for every architecture.
To create a new template, refer to the page: create workflow template. It contains all the details.
To clone a template and add it to your architecture:
Go the deploy tab within your architecture
Click on Templates in the left menu
Hover the workflow template you want to delete
Click on Create workflow from template
Confirm the action
To delete a template:
Go the deploy tab within your architecture
Click on Templates in the left menu
Hover the workflow template you want to delete

Deleting a workflow template cannot be undone.
It's a good practice to include security checks are part of your process. Users will get used to it and will help you raise the awareness about infrastructure security.
Create as many workflows that represent your deployment scenarios. It helps your team members quickly pick the right one.
Always add a description when you create a template.
Put generic emails (team's email) in the approvals field in tasks before creating templates to not be dependent on specific persons.
You can use naming conventions for workflows, especially if you have workflows for different teams.
