Defining or Editing a Template

If a template, applied to device group(s) or device(s), is edited, the configuration changes are not automatically committed to the devices. You need to commit and deploy the changes so that the changes are pushed to the devices. To perform commit and deploy, refer to Committing and Deploying the Updates of Golden Template.

The updates made to a zero touch template are automatically deployed to the applied zero-touch devices.
