Understanding why a template is "In Use," why you may not be able delete it, and how to duplicate "Review" templates
In Lattice, the words "In Use" may be next to a review template. This means that it is part of a review cycle or was part of a past review cycle. Templates in Lattice can be edited until they're associated with a review cycle.
In Lattice, admins are not able to delete or edit templates that are "In Use." Editing these templates would compromise the integrity of the active/ended review cycle data. Templates [questions and answers] are associated to those who fill them out in a review cycle and editing them would mess that up.
However, admins are able to "Duplicate" templates that are "In Use." Duplicating a template is a quick way to make small adjustments/changes to previously used review templates.
How to Duplicate a Template In Lattice
Step 1: Navigate to the "Admin" panel using the navigation bar
Step 2: Click on "Reviews" found on the left Administration panel
Step 3: Click "View" to the right of the template
Step 4: Click "Duplicate"
If the template that you want to delete or edit is only being used in a test review cycle, you can delete that review cycle which will free up the ability to edit the template.
