Hello community members,
I’m having trouble locating the “document template” feature referenced in the Frappe documentation here: Document Template .
Has Frappe changed this feature, or is the documentation out of date?Frappe Framework: v15.x.x-develop () (develop)

Based on proposal #16024
Create documents from saved templates. Users can sav… e custom templates based on existing forms and use them anytime to autofill new documents.
**Steps**
You can save a template from the Form Sidebar. Entering the name of your template followed by the `Enter` key will save the template.
Clicking **Show Saved Templates** will list all templates saved for the current DocType.
You can also delete the saved template if no longer useful.
- On selection of a template from an existing form, it will create a new document.
- On a selection of a template in a new form, it will update the form's `doc`.

Closes: #16024
It would be a good feature. In some cases Autorepeat and duplicate could fill the gap.
