Clone a template
Templates are proven, clonable maps in the gallery. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, pick a template and make it yours in minutes.

Cloning a free template
Open the templates gallery, find a free template, and click Clone to workspace. Canopy copies the map - nodes, edges, and default metadata - into your workspace as an editable map. No payment, no waiting.
If you belong to more than one workspace, the button reveals a destination picker so you choose where the copy lands.
One copy per workspace
A template can be cloned into a workspace once. In the picker, any workspace that can't receive a copy says why:
Deleting the copy frees it up again - the restriction is derived from the clone itself, so once it's gone you can clone the template again into that workspace.
You can't clone or like your own template
Your own templates show Clone and Like disabled - the map already lives in your workspace, and self-likes would distort the counts your Canopy Card and the gallery ranking are based on.
Cloning a paid template
Paid templates show a Buy button with a one-time USD price. Clicking it opens a Stripe-hosted checkout. After payment clears:
- A live entitlement is added to your Maps → Purchased templates library.
- The entitlement reflects the seller's latest updates automatically.
- You clone it to edit - either the original snapshot from purchase or the latest version from the seller.
Purchase price ≠ infra cost
The one-time price is what you pay to buy the template. It is separate from the muted "~$x/mo" figure, which only estimates what running that architecture would cost on your cloud bill.
Paid template entitlements live in your Library and do not count toward the Free 2-map cap. Editable clones you make from them are normal maps and do count.
See Buying templates for the full license details, clone actions, refund policy, and what happens when a seller updates or deletes their template.
Publishing your own template Pro
Pro workspace owners can list any map as a free or paid template from the map editor - click Sell in the header. See the Marketplace docs for payout setup, fees, verification, and the full seller lifecycle.
