Convert Template to Template Link
We should be able to convert an existing template to a template link. Today, we have to completely recreate the template as a template link. Ideally, we should be able to just toggle an existing template to convert it to a shareable link.

Fields are grayed out and getting an "unavailable" error when trying to use a template I created
I'm trying to use a template I created for a simple change order. When I go to use the template, it makes all the fields grey and say "unavailable". How can I get this to work?

Does anyone know if it is possible to auto-populate newly created folder structures with a standard set of templated documents?

Dropbox Sign + Dropbox Accounts
I currently have a dropbox standard account as well as a dropbox sign account. I am wondering if it is necessary to have both or if i can send over all my sign templates over to an upgraded dropbox account. Thanks!

Signatures and Signature Templates
Hi, I have an Advance account with 4 team members. I got a notice that I need to upgrade to get Signatures with Signature Templates. I'm confused, I have the next highest level account that Dropbox offers and none of the product offerings have Signatures/Signatures with Templates. Please explain and advise. Thank you, Thayne

Templates and default location of the working Paper doc
The idea of making a template seems to be positive, however the current user experience is clunky. It is also inconsistent between the browser and iPad experience. You can create a working Paper document from a template in the browser, but you can't do the same thing on an iPad. Let's assume you have template (.papert extension) available. So when you open it, it opens in Edit Template mode. To create a working Paper document, and not modifying the template, you have to then click the Create doc button. This generates your own version of the template (.paper extension) but it puts it in the top level of your Dropbox home folder. So from a user experience point of view, the user isn't asked where the document should go. Because we are trying to file content in the right project folders, 100% of the time the choice of the home folder is wrong. So the user then has to navigate to move the new paper document to the correct place. This is cumbersome. If there was a create new document from template menu it might be understood that the current folder is where the new .paper document should be placed. Ideally, you won't keep your templates in the same place where you keep the working documents. So all of the above only works within the Web Browser. Switch to an iPad using the native Dropbox app and there seems to be no way to open a new document based on a template. We are trying to equip a mobile team with iPads. Templates are at core of the workflow. However, on an iPad, they can't do this, they have to refer back to a web browser. So the magic of templates is let down by the inconsistent user experience and the inability to infer the current folder in which the working Paper document should be filed.

Image Placeholder for Templates in Paper
Based on my chat w/ Tech - the image placeholder is not available.. I see it used on the dropbox paper templates but I was told this is not a feature for users.

Create the ability to make and use Custom Templates in Paper
We have several meetings a month that use a custom meeting template for agenda and notes. It would be really nice to have the set up automatically in dropbox paper and be able to use them as templates.
