Why am I not able to send a Provided Template?
​
​If you have downgraded to a Starter or Core plan or if you are on a Starter or Core plan and have selected a Provided Template with proposal options, you will need to remove the options on the proposal in order to send it. A tip is to keep the most appropriate option and to remove the rest.
​
​Alternatively, please use the template version that does not include options.

How come I don't have the ability to create custom templates in my account?
