Template Editor 

The TemplateEditor.png Template Editor in RigBridge is a powerful tool designed for creating, modifying, and managing templates that serve as standardized plans. It ensures that your organization maintains a single source of truth, consolidating best practices, operational learnings, and procedural instructions into structured templates.

By using the Template Editor, you can create and manage project templates, either manually or—if available—through third-party integrations, ensuring that the correct instructions are applied to every project.

How it looks 

When you open the TemplateEditor.png Template Editor , you will see a structured layout designed for editing and managing templates efficiently. The interface consists of the following key components:

Task Overview
