# Manage Copy Template

Each Copy Template includes an **Actions** column that allows you to manage existing templates efficiently.

From this section, you can:

-   Edit
-   Clone
-   Delete
-   Enable or Disable templates

These options help maintain and control the availability of templates in the system.
