# Create a task from a project task template

You can save a project task as a template and reuse it when creating a task.

## Before you begin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Project** > **Tasks** > **All**.

2.  Select **New**.

3.  If the templates do not appear at the bottom, select the ellipsis \(\[Omitted image "gannt\_chart\_icon.png"\] Alt text: Ellipsis icon\) icon at the top of the form, and select **Toggle Template Bar**.
