Setup process after duplication

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rename the duplicated workspace to your business or client system name. | The sidebar title matches the buyer's workspace. |
| 2 | Open Client CRM and replace the sample clients with one lead, one active client, and one follow-up. | The buyer sees real work in the CRM. |
| 3 | Open Project Pipeline and confirm statuses such as Lead, Proposal, In progress, Waiting, and Done. | Tasks can move across a board or table view. |
| 4 | Open Meeting Notes and connect each note to the right client or project. | Notes are searchable and tied to work. |
| 5 | Open Resource Library and replace example links with real files, folders, and references. | The dashboard becomes useful for daily client work. |
| 6 | Run one weekly review using the checklist and archive anything no longer needed. | The buyer has used the complete workflow once. |
Duplicate this template in Notion
Backup Notion template files
These files let buyers inspect or rebuild the workspace if they prefer manual setup, but the duplicate link above is the primary buyer path.
Testing with your own duplicated template
Click Edit test copy on this example, paste your public duplicated Notion URL into the Notion duplicate link field, save, then preview the LiveFile. The buyer button will use your template URL instead of the sample template URL.

Buyer FAQ
Is this only a preview?
No. The example includes a real duplicate path, importable backup files, and a visible workspace map so buyers can understand the template before using it.
What should the seller add before selling this?
The seller should duplicate or build the final Notion workspace, publish it with duplicate access enabled, then paste that public duplicate URL into the LiveFile editor.
Can I add a duplicate link later?
Yes. Sellers should add their own public duplicate link after building the external workspace. Backup files can still stay in the delivery package.
