Is there any way to convert a Project you made via a “blank” template to an Asana template after you have already created it? ---

Hello @Jennifer_Springer and welcome to the Asana Community Forum 👋 Yes sure you can mark any project as template, see point 2 here: [How to create and use Asana templates | Product guide • Asana Product Guide](https://asana.com/guide/team/advanced/create-use-asana-templates#gl-custom-templates) 😃 ---

@Jennifer_Springer - Are you referring to how to make that project into a template or… …are you asking about how to map that project to an existing template after creating the project (also, welcome to the forum) 🙂 ---

Yes, how to map that project to an existing template after I already created the project without using a template. We created 1 project using a template and the features are awesome. I created another project not using a template and it doesn’t have the same feature set as the templated one and I can’t figure out how to enable the same. Would like to migrate it to the template version. Thanks for your help! ---

@Jennifer_Springer - there’s not currently a way to automatically map a project to a project template. But, to accomplish that as efficiently as possible, follow these steps: 1. Create a new project using the template you intend to use. 2. Go back to the old project and bulk highlight all tasks that you want to move. You can bulk highlight a full list by clicking a task at the top of the list, holding shift, and clicking the task at the bottom (up to 50 at a time). You can also use CNTRL+Click (on a PC) or CMD+Click (on a MAC) to bulk select tasks 1 by 1. 3. A black “bulk change toolbar” will show up at the bottom. Click the clipboard and select the project where you want to share the tasks to (called “multi-homing”). 4. Now that the tasks are in the new project, you can sort them into sections as needed. 5. Once all the tasks that you want to retain are multi-homed, you can safely delete the old project. It’s not an ultra-efficient process, and it’d be much more useful if I could just click somewhere to move my tasks to a template project, but this is the most streamlined way to do it currently. Let me know of any questions. ---
