[EPIC]-[6000]:Templates Phase 2
Objective
The objective of phase 2 is to enhance the existing template reach from just making these apps forkabe and accessible within Appsmith to truly integrating them. To achieve this, we have identified the following key areas where we can implement new user flows to make templates and more effective:
- Allowing the user to access templates from within the canvas, allowing them to add/merge a template into an existing application To achieve this, users can access the list of templates within the new app or the new page flow. Users will be able to quickly browse a template and import it into their apps
- Rather than forcing a user to import a whole application into their organisation, and then starting to build from there, or copy elements from there, a user should be able to import just the specific parts of the template that they need into their app.
- Adding in support for the Sample apps available in our documentation. We have to build a process around the documentation of this, to make the results accessible to all users, as well as fitting the current template requirements and standards

@kocharrahul7 Reduction in time spent in creating their app UI should also be tracked. That is also an indicator of success in using templates.
