Learning Objectives 

An office template is vital to efficient project start-up and productive workflows. It ensures consistency in the methods of working and standardizes the outputs. With the annual Archicad updates, it is recommended that the office template is reviewed and upgraded in line with any new functionality introduced with each new Archicad version. 

There is a migration cut between pre-Archicad 28 versions and Archicad 28 and later versions regarding libraries. Taking this into consideration, this document will guide you updating your office template, and also instruct you on the recommendations when migrating ongoing projects to Archicad 28.
