- Modernized User Interface: We have refreshed
the Templates Manager design to offer a cleaner,
more intuitive experience. The updated layout improves
navigation and enhances usability across all devices.
- Streamlined File Creation: Creating new files
is now faster and more convenient — simply click on
the desired template name to generate a new document
instantly. No extra steps, no confusion.
- Simplified Permissions: You only need Edit
access to a site to create a "TMTemplates" library.
This makes it easier for teams to collaborate, as they
no longer need elevated privileges.
The SPFX edtion can now be added to a site by the Site
owner, using 'Add an app', if Templates Manager
has not been activated on all sites from start. Site
admin privilegies are no longer necessary.
- Improved Codebase: We have made extensive
changes under the hood to simplify support and future
upgrades. These improvements reduce technical debt and
pave the way for faster feature rollouts.
- Updated Subscription Model: Our revised subscription
structure offers more flexibility and value.
- Example data in all supported languages.
The SharePoint language is selected automatically. If
that language is not supported, English will be used.
- Teams support: The SPFX edition can be added
to a tab in Microsoft Teams.

Version 3 is a major re-build of Templates Manager,
using a new programming language called TypeScript. Microsoft
markets it as "JavaScript for the Enterprise", and it has
given us some new possibilities.
We can for example get rid of the Publisher and User installations.
There is now only one setup, and it can be used for both
templates distribution and template selection and usage.
Version 3 of Templates Manager gives "Templates Manager"
buttons in all document libraries in sites where Templates
Manager has been installed or activated, and these buttons
open all templates that the user has access to from all
templates libraries in the farm or tenant.
Templates Manager V3 comes in three editions: SPFX
extension, Sandboxed solution and PowerShell package. They
give the same features, but the installation methods are
different.
Another important development is that we have moved away
from using libraries for doing calls to SharePoint. Instead
we are now using direct REST API calls for everything that
we need to do with SharePoint, and that makes our code performance
much better.
