Get "From Template" option back under "Create" button

Okay, so honestly I don't remember the "From Template" option under the "Create" button in your Google Docs interface but apparently there was and now it's gone. But wait, you can get it back with a Chrome extension! And, if you're lucky enough to have Chromebooks in your district you can pre-install that extension automatically for all of your Chromebooks.

Sean Beaverson (@smbeaverson) told me about this extension and I believe he found out about it through Jay Atwood via Google+. We tried pre-installing it in our Chrome OS settings with the couple of Chromebooks we have and boom, bam, easy as that.

Left is what it looks like before installing the extension & to the right is after installing

 Here are the instructions on how to add the extension for an individual:

1. Go to your Drive interface
2. Click on the CREATE button
3. Click on Connect more apps
4. Search for "Templates"
5. Click the blue + CONNECT button by the "Drive Template Gallery" extension
6. Done

Do you have Chromebooks?

Here is how to pre-install this extension on all of your Chromebooks:

1. Log into your Admin Dashboard
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Chrome OS
4. Click on Applications
5. Highlight the Organization you wish to auto install this extension on (we did all users)
6. Click on Manage Pre-installed Applications (first section)
7. A window will pop up, click on Chrome Web Store
8. Search for "Templates"
9. Click on "Add" by "Drive Template Gallery"
10. It will move over to the right, click Save
11. Make sure you click Save again

Again, we first discovered this through another post on Google+ by Jay Atwood. Very cool! Now, I wish I could install this extension on all of our domain user's Chrome browsers, not just on the Chromebook.
