For maximum efficiency, a template is applied automatically if only one is available. Admins can configure access restrictions so that only one template appears, enabling auto-application. This is ideal for organizations with standardized course structures, further streamlining course creation.
When a default template is assigned, instructors can skip manual selection altogether and jump straight into content creation.
