-Custom project templates are useful for organizations that need to create many similar types of
-[projects](../project/index.md).
-Projects created from these templates serve as a common starting point.
+[Group owners](../permissions.md#group-members-permissions) can set a subgroup to
+be the source of project templates that are selectable when a new project is created
+in the group. These templates can be selected when you go to **New project > Create from template**
+in the group and select the **Group** tab.
 
-## Setting up group-level project templates
+Every project in the subgroup, but not nested subgroups, can be selected by members
+of the group when a new project is created.
 
-To use a custom project template for a new project:
+Repository and database information that is copied over to each new project is identical to the
+data exported with the [GitLab Project Import/Export](../project/settings/import_export.md).
+
+To set custom project templates at the instance level, see [Custom instance-level project templates](../admin_area/custom_project_templates.md).
 
-1. [Create a `templates` subgroup](subgroups/index.md).
-1. [Add repositories (projects) to that new subgroup](index.md#add-projects-to-a-group),
-   as your templates.
-1. Edit your group's settings to look to your _templates_ subgroup for templates:
+## Set up group-level project templates
 
-   1. In the left menu, select **Settings > General**. If you don't have access to the
-      group's settings, you may not have sufficient privileges (for example, you may need developer
-      or higher permissions).
-   1. Scroll to **Custom project templates** and select **Expand**. If no **Custom project templates**
-      section displays, make sure you've created a subgroup and added a project (repository) to it.
-   1. Select the **templates** subgroup.
+To set up custom project templates in a group, add the subgroup that contains the
+project templates to the group settings:
+
+1. In the group, create a [subgroup](subgroups/index.md).
+1. [Add projects to the new subgroup](index.md#add-projects-to-a-group) as your templates.
+1. In the left menu for the group, go to **Settings > General**.
+1. Expand **Custom project templates** and select the subgroup.
+
+If all enabled [project features](../project/settings/index.md#sharing-and-permissions)
+(except for GitLab Pages) are set to **Everyone With Access**, then every project
+template in the subgroup is available to every member of the group.
+
+Any projects added to the subgroup later can be selected the next time a group member
+creates a new project.

-### Adjust Settings
-
-Users can configure a GitLab group that serves as template source under a group's
-**Settings > General > Custom project templates**.
-
-NOTE:
-GitLab administrators can [set project templates for an entire GitLab instance](../admin_area/custom_project_templates.md).
-
-Within this section, you can configure the group where all the custom project templates are sourced.
-If all enabled [project features](../project/settings/index.md#sharing-and-permissions)
-(except for GitLab Pages) are set to **Everyone With Access**, then every project template directly
-under the group namespace is available to every signed-in user. However, private projects are
-available only if the user is a member of the project. Also note that only direct subgroups can be
-set as the template source. Projects of nested subgroups of a selected template source cannot be
-used.
-
-Repository and database information that are copied over to each new project are identical to the
-data exported with the [GitLab Project Import/Export](../project/settings/import_export.md).
