-
The Reset icon (
) is used to reset templates. If used in the Tenant Templates panel, then all tenant-level template files and folders for the current tenant will be deleted. Once they are deleted, since no tenant-level templates will exist, global templates will then be used automatically in Pay Request. -
The Copy icon (

If the Copy icon is clicked in the Tenant Templates panel, then a copy of global templates will be created and placed in the tenant folder. Templates in this new tenant folder will be managed separately and will not be linked to global templates.

If the Copy icon is clicked in the Project Templates panel, then either global or tenant templates will be copied to the project folder, depending on whether tenant templates exist.
