Connect a Card to a Template

If you have existing cards that are not connected to a template, you can associate them with a template in your account. This would allow you to update that card and any other cards associated with the template by simply updating your template. You can also disassociate a card from a template or assign it to a different template. If you would like to make a template so that you can attach existing cards and update them in bulk, we have a guide with more information about creating a template.
