Product: NGINX One Console
> View metadata, submissions and version history for a config template on the Template Detail page in NGINX One Console.

---


## Overview

Use this page to view metadata, submissions and version history for a config template in NGINX One Console. The Template Detail page has two tabs: **Details** and **Versions**.

## Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure you have:

- **NGINX One Console access**: You need permission to view config templates.
- **An existing template**: At least one template must exist in **Manage > Config Templates**.

## Go to the Template Detail page

1. In the NGINX One Console, go to **Manage > Config Templates**.
2. Select a template name from the list. F5 templates show the F5 logo icon in the list.

The **Details** tab opens by default. Select the **Versions** tab to view the full version history.

## Details tab

The **Details** tab contains a metadata summary card for the template and a [Submissions section](template-submissions-view.md) below it listing all submissions created with this template.

The metadata summary card displays the following fields:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| **Created** | The date and time the template was created. |
| **Type** | The template type: `base` or `augment`. See [Template types](author-templates.md#template-types) for details. |
| **Is F5 Default** | Displayed for templates provided by F5. F5 default templates are immutable and cannot be modified or deleted. |
| **Object ID** | The unique identifier for the template (`tmpl_...`). Use this value in API operations for the template, such as [updating metadata](/nginx-one-console/api/api-reference-guide/#operation/updateTemplateMetadata) or [copying a template](/nginx-one-console/api/api-reference-guide/#operation/copyTemplate). Select the copy button to copy it. |
| **State** | The state of the latest template version: `draft` (editable) or `final` (immutable, shown with a lock icon). |
| **Latest Version** | The version number of the most recent template version. |
| **Description** | The human-readable description of the template, if the author provided one. |
| **Latest Object ID** | The unique identifier for the latest template version (`tmplv_...`). Use the copy button to copy this value for version-level API operations, such as providing the `object_id` when [submitting templates](submit-templates.md). |

**tip:** 
Both **Object ID** and **Latest Object ID** are copyable directly from the UI.

- **Object ID** (`tmpl_...`) identifies the template itself and is used for template-level operations (metadata updates, copy, delete, listing versions).
- **Latest Object ID** (`tmplv_...`) identifies the current version and is used as the `object_id` in submission requests.

## Versions tab

The **Versions** tab lists every version created for the template, along with submission counts and modification timestamps. See [View template versions](template-versions.md) for full details.

## Refresh

Select **Refresh** at the top right of the page to reload the template details from the server.

## API reference

The Template Detail page uses the [Retrieve a Template](/nginx-one-console/api/api-reference-guide/#operation/getTemplate) API operation, which returns the latest version details including metadata, file contents, and submission count.

## Troubleshooting

### Template details don't load

**Symptom**: The Template Detail page shows no data or an error.

**Cause**: The template may have been deleted, or you may not have permission to view it.

**Fix**: Go to **Manage > Config Templates** and confirm the template exists. If it does, ask your administrator to check your access permissions.
