Collaboration Templates
Use
You can set a collaboration in both scenarios, that is both in the collaborative and in the competitive scenario, to be a template. When you create a collaboration in either scenario you can then select another collaboration as a template. Doing this copies the public work area of the template only.
Prerequisites
You must have at least read authorization for the public work area of a collaboration to use it as a template. Any objects for which you have read authorization or higher are then copied. However, authorizations and work areas are not copied.
