You want to use an Awesome Table app using your own requirements. This article explains how to copy an app from the Template Gallery. You will also learn how to copy another user's app if you want to adapt it to your use.
Copy apps from the Template Gallery
When you create an Awesome Table app from scratch, it is sometimes useful (and easier) to use a prefabricated template that can be customized later according to your requirements. There are more than 30 templates available in the Awesome Table gallery, using various apps for specific use cases (tables, card, maps apps, etc.).
Click the Template gallery dropdown menu at the homepage's top right to see all of the available templates.
Select the template you want to use.
You are redirected to the preview page. Click Use template.
You can now edit your app.
Copy apps from other users
If you want to use an Awesome Table app from another user and you want to adapt it for your own use:
1. Replace the Awesome Table app’s URL suffix (or the last word after the forward-slash) “view” with “preview”. For example, https://awesome-table.com/-MCkaulPsPIjzDHiGW3j/view becomes https://awesome-table.com/-MCkaulPsPIjzDHiGW3j/preview.
2. Click Use template.
3. Click Open copy (or wait for a second or two for the app to open automatically).
4. You can now edit your app.

Sorry but I try to do and don't download the template
Hi @Jony.
Were you logged in to your Google / GSuite account when you tried to replicate a view?
And what specific view were you trying to copy?
(Please provide screenshots so we can troubleshoot further.)
Thanks.

Hi there,
There seems to be an issue when wanting to copy a template. I'm trying to copy the People Directory With Sidebar and I keep getting an error message telling me "Awesome Table needs your authorization to copy the template." And this is what I get in the corner:
I'm already signed-in though.
Thanks!
Hi Eleni.
I just tried to replicate the same template and it proceeded as normal.
Could you please try to open the same template using Chrome's Incognito mode (or your default browser's Private browsing mode).
If that doesn't work, please follow sections 2 - 4 of this troubleshooting article.
We'll wait for your reply.

Hi Randy,
It seems to be working now. Probably just an issue on my end. Thanks for the reply!
I have copied and used the Awesome-Table template called "Customer Stories." I can see it in the screenshot above but I can no longer find it in the template gallery and the two uses I have of that template embedded on other websites have stopped working. The images are no longer clickable to take the user to more information. Is there a way for me to fix the existing template or since it has been removed from the gallery, does that mean it no longer works?
Thank you.
Janet
