Phase 3: Templatize

After a successful build, templatizing saves the current state of all your VMs as a reusable template. This template is what students actually deploy — each deployment gets a fresh copy of the templated VMs.

The build is templatize-ready when the Create Machine Templates button appears in the top-right of the canvas — every play landed cleanly, no errors anywhere.

Note

This phase unlocks after completing a successful build with zero errors. If your build has errors, resolve them first, then Redeploy.

What Templatizing Does

• Snapshots every VM in its current state
• Packages them as a template that can be deployed repeatedly
• Enables the Publish phase — you can’t publish without a template

Each time a student deploys your scenario, they get a brand-new copy of these templated VMs. Your original build remains untouched.
