Email Templates
Purpose
An email template is used while configuring email notifications. For eg. For standard notification emails like approval notifications, you can create a standard email template beforehand and select it directly while configuring approvals.

Cloning an Email Template
Clone a template is useful when you want to create a template which has similarities with an existing template. By using this option, you can copy an existing template and make the changes that you would like rather than following all the steps of creating a new template again.
To clone a Template:
- From your home page, go to Settings (Gear icon) > Templates
- Hover the mouse over the email template or record template that needs to be cloned
- Click the clone icon and make the necessary changes to the existing template
