Browse the community library
The community library is a shared template collection from other Carepatron practitioners. Use what's there, customise, and, if you want, contribute back.
What the community library is
Under Templates → Community lives a shared collection of templates published by other Carepatron practitioners. Mental-health intake forms, physio assessment sheets, dental check-up checklists, coaching goal-setting templates, organised by category and profession. It's not a marketplace (nothing's for sale); it's a shortcut to skip the blank-page problem and start from something a peer has used.
Find and try a template
Templates → Community opens the browser. Search by keyword (e.g. 'intake', 'SOAP', 'PHQ-9') or scroll. Each template card shows category, profession, and a preview link. Click into one to read it through. From there you have two options: Use template runs the template against a client immediately (without saving it to your workspace), or Copy to workspace drops a copy into your Team Templates Library where you can edit it.
Customise after copying
Once it's in your workspace, treat it like any other template. Open it, change the wording, add or remove fields, drop in your smart chips, save. The community version isn't touched, you've forked your own copy. Most practices end up keeping 70% of what they copy and replacing the rest with their own questions or branding.
Publish back, if you want
Templates you've built and refined can go back to the community. Open the template → overflow menu → Publish to community → fill in category, profession, and tags. Other practitioners can then find and use it. Treat the library as practitioner-contributed, always preview anything before using it on a real client and check it meets your clinical and regulatory requirements.
