      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have searched and understand that I can't add my own template at this time and it doesn't seem like I can copy a document either - please let me know if I am wrong on either of those counts.&amp;nbsp; One other&amp;nbsp;option that I had in mind for making Dropbox Paper more applicable to the type of collaboration that I am interested in would be, can I create placeholder text within a document like what's found on the &lt;A href="https://paper.dropbox.com/welcome" target="_blank"&gt;currently existing templates&lt;/A&gt;?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;According to the &lt;A href="https://blogs.dropbox.com/dropbox/2018/04/dropbox-paper-templates/" target="_self"&gt;Dropbox blog&lt;/A&gt;, it is possible.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;You can even add &lt;STRONG&gt;placeholder text&lt;/STRONG&gt; to help people better understand what information they need to fill in.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And if you create a document from a meeting, there is placeholder text.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You should be on your template's edit mode to add a placeholder text. (On your Paper doc, go to the ellipsis &lt;STRONG&gt;(...)&lt;/STRONG&gt; button on the upper right corner, select &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;templatise&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt; and then sel&lt;SPAN class=" author-d-iz88z86z86za0dz67zz78zz78zz74zz68zjz80zz71z9iz90za3z66zsz65z7gz85zz86zz70zz79zz80z3z85z6z87ziz78zz83zigfz86zz80z5z80zblcz70zz86z"&gt;ect text that you want to convert into placeholder text and press the first icon on the left in the formatting toolbar)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=" author-d-iz88z86z86za0dz67zz78zz78zz74zz68zjz80zz71z9iz90za3z66zsz65z7gz85zz86zz70zz79zz80z3z85z6z87ziz78zz83zigfz86zz80z5z80zblcz70zz86z"&gt;My colleague Jane has posted all about this in&lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-Paper/Feature-Request-Create-Customized-Paper-Templates-Wish-granted/td-p/162690/page/4" target="_blank"&gt; this thread&lt;/A&gt; - feel free to take a look there too!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Nope, that doesn't work for me.&amp;nbsp;I tried opening my&amp;nbsp;template and clicking "Templatize"&amp;nbsp;but&amp;nbsp;everything on the screen disappears and I see "An unknown error occurred." in the center of the screen.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
