# Creating a Template from a Dependent App

Apps with dependencies on assets on other apps can be templatized using the same template creation process as standalone templates.

To create a template with dependencies on other apps, the supporting apps must be templatized first. If they aren’t, the template creation process returns an error that reminds you to create a template for the supporting app. Aside from that consideration, use the same steps to templatize an app that has dependencies as a template that has no dependencies.
