You saved or copied a template, but it does not show up in the Templates view in the Explorer sidebar.
Templates are picked up only from folders registered in automationview.templates.folders, and each template needs a JSON sidecar (<name>.<ext>.json for files, <name>.json for project folders). A missing sidecar, a malformed sidecar, or an unregistered folder all hide the template silently.
automationview.templates.folders.Check the sidecar JSON. A sequence template needs <name>.seq paired with <name>.seq.json; a project template needs the folder <name>/ paired with <name>.json. The sidecar must declare at minimum name, type, and description. Malformed JSON or a missing sidecar is skipped without warning. As a last check, run AutomationView: Restore Default Templates to confirm the view itself is working, then re-add your folder.
