# Edit Group Template

This page changes a saved group template. It opens the template's stored values in the same form used to create one. The fields and the settings that appear for each group type are described on [Add Group Template](/user-documentation/identity/administration/group-templates/add.md).

Saving overwrites the existing template in place rather than creating a second one, because the template keeps its identifier through the edit.

{% hint style="info" %}
Groups already created from a template are not affected by editing it. A template only supplies values at the moment it is applied, so changes here take effect the next time the template is deployed.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Changing the group type on an existing template changes which settings apply to it. Values belonging to the previous type stay on the record but stop being offered, so a template switched from a Distribution List to a Security Group keeps its aliases without any way to see or clear them from this page. Where the type is wrong it is usually cleaner to create a new template and delete the old one.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cipp.app/user-documentation/identity/administration/group-templates/edit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
