Family tree/House line planning template
Similar were a smaller version of the character relationship template with multiple versions of the first part with family links added so decendancy and relationships between characters is easy to track and I don't forgot a cousin.

Create and save templates
Context: I write primarily short stories and tend to have specific sections for the draft and notes and such. I know I can make different documents for these but I like having them in one document because these are typically short stories and it would make things too unwieldy to manage all those separately. Ideally, it'd be nice to be able to create a document and set it as a template. That way when creating a new document from the dashboard, I could select either a blank document or a template. Alternative solution: Have the ability to duplicate a document from the dashboard (i.e. the 3 dot sub menu for each document has Rename, Move, and Delete - having a Duplicate option could be an quicker win perhaps)

A Story Outline Template
A template that allows you to outline all the chapters of a longer story and keep them all in one doc would be really nice. Maybe each chapter outline could be linked to specific chapter outlines.

Story Research Template
A template to help you organize research and information needed to write your story. I personally write sci-fi so I have to research a lot of odd concepts and it would be cool to have a template to sort everything out!

Document templates
more templates unrelated to story-planning. For example, templates for writing CV, taking meeting notes, and preparing blog posts.

Powers/Abilities Template
I think a template to outline a character's power set and abilities would be helpful. For me, almost every character I'm working with has some form of them and it will be critical to ensure I'm staying grounded in their evolution as powers are critical for character development in my writing. Something to outline base abilities alongside strengths and limitations would be great!

Add Templates to A Preexisting Project
So, you can add templates and make it a project, but you can't create a template within an existing project. Basically, the same system with creating with a template, but inside of an already existing project.

A Journal template
A template for creating personal journals or even journals for specific characters. I love journaling and many other writers do to; some digital journaling templates would be great plus sometimes in books there are characters who have journals that are later revealed to carry forward the plot and some books are written in a journal like format like the diary of a wimpy kid.

Place template
I'd like to want templates on place the story is happening. Like it's history, how they first came to this place, its layout, etc.

Tabletop Campaign Template
a tabletop rpg planning template might be nice, stuff like outlining plot points, having notes on npcs and locations, info the players might need to know or items that might need notes on how they work, somewhere to keep track of encounter details, things like that so it can be organized. I'm a bit new to tabletop stuff and running campaigns, and I want to have somewhere I can keep my plans and update them as we go along.

One shot/short story series template
Template for multiple one shots/short stories that go together and maybe contribute to one overarching story, but are separate stories at the end of the day.
