# Apply / Upload Template (LE)

**UI trigger**: System -> Device Management -> Templates -> *Apply Template* (downloads a `.zip`, then re-uploads it).

:::BlockQuote
What the UI does invisibly: when a user clicks "Download Template", the UI first clears any previous upload session, then creates a new one, then uploads the file - the user just sees a file download/upload dialog.
