The Manage Templates tool provides a solution that is intuitive and easy to use, while configuring Recruiting Management.

The Manage Templates tool supports versioning. Versions can be accessed and preceding version of the configuration can also be restored to overwrite recent versions, if desired. You can also see the author of each version.
