Import a template,
create a normal board.
Deckloud creates the board on your server in a fixed order: board, labels, stacks, cards, then label assignments. In self-hosted mode, no relay sits in between.

What import does
A template is a JSON recipe. Importing it creates a new, ordinary Deck board that the web app and every client can open. No existing board changes.
02
Step by step
1. Get a template.
Use the template hub or the browser builder. On iPhone, Open in the app on a template page sends it to Deckloud.
2. Start a new board.
In Boards, tap New board, then Template. Choose a public template, or tap Import template file… and pick your JSON.
3. Create the board.
Check the preview and tap Create board. If a step fails, Deckloud asks you to review the board before retrying.
03
Why comments and attachments stay out of v1
Comments carry authorship and history, and attachments behave differently across server versions. Put starter guidance in card descriptions.
04
Due dates are relative on purpose
Templates store day offsets. A card due in three days is due three days after you import.
FAQ
Practical questions
Can I import the same template twice?
Yes. Each import creates a separate board, so one template can seed every project or sprint.
Do I need Deckloud Pro to import?
No. Template import is free, and the files are plain JSON you can read first.
