[Troubleshooting] Templates Button Not Showing / Can't Save New Templates

[jh1989 20]

I'm running 10.1.17. For all my notes I used a template and just today have ran into this issue. If I create a new note, I should see a button to select a template in the body of the note. This button is not longer there. Further, If I go to Note > Save as Template, this option is grayed out and I can't select it.

I've completely killed the evernote process and restarted it. It still is not showing for me.

This has happened to me in the past. It only went away with a new version (sometime back in beta I think). Obviously not solved.

It happened to me as well. I solved the issue by ending evernote through the task manager and starting it again. That solved the issue for me.

I have the same issue with no templates in Windows 10.2.4.

Hi All,

We are aware of this issue, and are working to address it.

As a temporary workaround, restarting your app should resolve the issue.

Please let us us know on this thread if you encounter this issue, and I'll be following up once I have any updates.

I just installed the latest on my Win 10 Surface Book 2 and have this issue, even after restarting the app and restarting the entire machine.

Just adding my voice to this thread. Same issue here. v10.4.3. Restarting the app did the trick for now.

Same issue here, have just upgraded to new Windows v10.4.4. Restart has not solved problem. Same note can be saved as a template in iOS app.

Same here, same version. The issue is intermittent; sometimes it works and restarting fixes it, sometimes it does not fix it (I tested this in two machines; in one it DID fix it, in the other, it did not, and tried a couple of times; same version in both, 10.4.4).

Just happened to me on version  10.24.3.0.17043.  l had to completely uninstall desktop app using a third party uninstaller, then download and reinstall.  Now templates are back and I'm refreshed up to version 10.25.6.  Thanks everyone for posting about this - the info was really helpful.

Short of uninstalling, this little procedure often fixes problems related to a corrupted local database (for Windows, Mac is a bit different).:

1. Go to File > Sign Out [name] from the menu bar.
2. Select the "Remove my Evernote data from this device" option, then click Sign out.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Sign back in to Evernote

I am experiencing this issue. 'Save as new template' button is greyed out. It's been two years and still no fix?

This issue still exists. I'm experience it in both the Chrome browser version and the Evernote for Mac version:

10.33.4-mac-ddl-public (3285)
Editor: v144.0.17818
Service: v1.49.2

I used the suggestion in this thread of creating a header in the note I created as a template and the the "Save as Template" immediately became available again.

The way suggested in this webiste worked. Just editing the body of the note or duplicate the not and save the duplicated to temeplate.
