Unity Hub 3.20 and above adds advanced options when creating a custom template, including adding root files from the project's root folder or extra files like text documents, and a toggle to replace the source project name with a placeholder so root files are renamed to match whatever name a user gives their new project. _Teams tracking Unity Hub tooling updates can keep tabs on changes like this via daily.dev._ ### How do I share a custom Unity Hub template with my team? Select a source control provider when creating the template so it syncs to a cloud project tied to a repo; teammates then open that cloud project, download the archive and JSON file it contains, and place both into a new subfolder named after the template inside the Unity user templates folder in their user directory on the C drive. _Teams coordinating shared Unity setups can track workflow guides like this on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#unity](https://daily.dev/tags/unity), [#version-control](https://daily.dev/tags/version-control) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/create-your-own-custom-templates-for-the-unity-hub-w0zbhw3eh) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Create your own custom templates for the Unity Hub","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/create-your-own-custom-templates-for-the-unity-hub-w0zbhw3eh","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/create-your-own-custom-templates-for-the-unity-hub-w0zbhw3eh"},"datePublished":"2026-08-19T20:34:03.071Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:45:44.475Z","description":"A walkthrough shows how to build custom project templates in the Unity Hub, covering how to create a template from an existing project, configure metadata like...","image":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PNm_JUJY6fw/sddefault.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PNm_JUJY6fw/sddefault.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Unity","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Unity","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/9afe038cc27e4d95ad581284cea8578d","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/unity"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/create-your-own-custom-templates-for-the-unity-hub-w0zbhw3eh","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"game-development,unity,version-control","timeRequired":"PT9M","video":{"@type":"VideoObject","name":"Create your own custom templates for the Unity Hub","description":"A walkthrough shows how to build custom project templates in the Unity Hub, covering how to create a template from an existing project, configure metadata like...","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PNm_JUJY6fw/sddefault.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-19T20:34:03.071Z","duration":"PT9M","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/W0zbhW3eh","embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/PNm_JUJY6fw"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Unity","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/unity"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Create your own custom templates for the Unity Hub"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/create-your-own-custom-templates-for-the-unity-hub-w0zbhw3eh#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I create a custom project template in the Unity Hub?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Create or open a project with the packages, settings, and assets you want, then in the Unity Hub go to the template section, click new template, select the project from the dropdown, and fill in a name, description, version, and editor version.
