Responses

Hi there,
Is there the possibility to transfer templates from a user to a team? Unfortunately, I purchased a key for a team but the templates created in the past are stuck with the user that I can't access due to the expired previous key. Any help is welcome!

Hi, I'm trying to add users to my team, but when trying to use the Import Users from AD option the Import users box pops up but it's stuck loading. The single Add Users option doesn't appear to be working for me either.
