+Key capabilities:
+
+- **Submit a template**: Select **Submit** on a finalized base template to open the **Submit Template** panel. Fill in parameters, add optional augment templates, choose target objects, and preview the configuration before you save.
+- **Copy a template**: Select **Make a Copy** on any template to create a new draft template from its latest version.

+## Overview
+
+The Templates list in NGINX One Console has two row actions: **Submit** and **Make a Copy**. Use these actions to work with config templates instead of building Templates API requests by hand.
+
+Select **Submit** on a finalized base template to open the **Submit Template** panel. The panel guides you through filling in parameter values. You can preview the rendered NGINX configuration before you save.
+
+Select **Make a Copy** on any template to create a new draft template from its latest version.
+
+## Before you begin
+
+Before you begin, make sure you have:
+
+- NGINX One Console access: You need template write permission to use the **Submit** and **Make a Copy** row actions.
+- An imported template: At least one template must exist in **Manage** > **Config Templates**. If you don't have any templates yet, import one first. See [Import templates]({{< ref "import-templates.md" >}}) for instructions.
+- A finalized base template: To use **Submit**, you need at least one base template in the `final` state.
+
+## Submit a template
+
+The **Submit** option is available for templates of type `base` that are in the `final` state.
+
+1. Go to **Manage** > **Config Templates**. The **Templates** list opens and shows every imported template with its available row actions, as well as F5-provided templates.
+1. Select **Submit** on a base template that's in the `final` state to create a template submission from the Templates list.
+1. Fill in the parameter values for the base template.
+1. Preview the rendered NGINX configuration.
+1. Select **Save** to create the submission and publish it to your chosen targets.
+
+## Edit an existing submission
+
+You can also use the **Edit Template Submission** panel to edit an existing submission. Open the submission from the **Submissions** section on the Template Detail page.
+
+## Copy a template
+
+The **Make a Copy** option is available for any template, regardless of its type or state. It creates a new draft template from the latest version of the selected template.
+
+1. Go to **Manage** > **Config Templates**. The **Templates** list opens and shows every imported template with its available row actions.
+1. Select **Make a Copy** on the template you want to copy.
+1. Fill in the name and description for the new template copy.
+
+NGINX One Console creates a new draft template at version 1. It copies the files, template type, and context configuration from the source template.
+
+## What happens next
+
+After you submit or copy a template, view the result on the [Template Detail page]({{< ref "template-detail-view.md" >}}). Submissions appear in the Submissions section for the submitted template.
+
+## API reference
+
+The Templates list row actions use the following API operations:
+
+- **Submit**: Uses the [Submit Templates]({{< ref "submit-templates.md" >}}) API to create or update a template submission.
+- **Make a Copy**: Uses the [Copy a template]({{< ref "author-templates.md#copy-a-template" >}}) API operation.
