4. Click on the Group Name - "Decisions org-wide Templates" or whichever naming convention was used for the new group.

6. Once selected, you will see the group under the "Existing org-wide team" section of the global template settings tab within the Decisions Admin Portal.
(Note: If you ever need to change the team, you can simple search here again for another team (where you are a Group Admin) to select a new team for org-wide templates.)
7. Click on the Org-wide Templates tab to upload the Template.
8. Upload your Template under the Templates folder (Documents > Config > Templates in the SharePoint page that loads upon click).
