    Note
    
    A template is unique as a result of the combination of its Name, Author, and Version attributes. See [Cards Framework Versioning](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_cards_framework_versioning.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "For the managed package runtime, the Vlocity Cards Framework supports versioning for all components. The name, author, and version combination must be unique for each component of a given type (layout, card, or template) in an org.").
4. After editing your cloned template, click **Save**.
