   *Released 18th March 2026*

We're excited to announce Civio Engage version 1.27, introducing the brand new **Templates** system. Templates allow you to save your best engagement tools as reusable starting points, making it faster and easier to launch new consultations with proven configurations.

Major Features ⭐️
-----------------

### Templates

A new **Templates** section has been added to the dashboard, giving you a central library to save, browse, and reuse your best engagement tools. Save any content or participation tool as a template from the **More...** menu, then use it to quickly create new tools across your site or within projects. New tools created from a template start in Draft status with all content and settings pre-filled, ready for you to customise.

Templates are available for Surveys, Pages, Polls, Idea Boards, Map Feedback, Q&A Boards, Budgets, Timelines, Events, and Maps.
