# Use a Template in a Patch My PC Cloud Deployment

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

Once the *Deployment Templates* ([Templates](https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/manage/manage-settings/manage-cloud-deployment-templates)) feature of Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud has been enabled for your PMPC Cloud company and you have created at least one template, you can start using templates for your new deployments.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

Templates are currently unsupported for use in existing deployments. To configure an existing deployment to use a template, you need to delete it and recreate a new one. When creating the new deployment, you can choose which template to use.

Also, if a template contains an option that is not supported by a deployment, that option will not be shown in the portal.

If a template contains an option that is supported by a deployment, that option will be shown in the portal with its configuration set as per the template. However, you can modify the configuration of that option if required.
{% endhint %}

To configure a new deployment to use a template:

1. Follow the relevant deployment scenario.
2. Once the Deployment Wizard has started, click **Apply Template**<br>
