No error warnings were found when I analyzed the project. When I go to create the project template, the process fails with the following warning: "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="hngorin_0-1673012085590.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/59856iBFB83D765665DB24/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="hngorin_0-1673012085590.png" alt="hngorin_0-1673012085590.png" /></span></P><P>Before the 3.0 upgrade, I was able to create and use this template without an issue. Does anyone have insight on what this error means and why it is preventing me from creating a project template?</P><P>For context, I am saving the template to a file over a shared network. My share and download settings are set to file paths to the shared network as well. The project contains a lot of data, and the total size of the project and its components is 31.0 GB. I successfully created a project template with a different ArcGIS Pro project with version 3.0.3. Is there a size limit for project templates?&nbsp;</P> Fri, 06 Jan 2023 13:53:09 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/unable-to-create-project-template-in-arcgis-pro-3/m-p/1245985#M64048 hngorin 2023-01-06T13:53:09Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/unable-to-create-project-template-in-arcgis-pro-3/m-p/1246335#M64081 <P>I have seen this occur when accessing data and using projects saved on network shares.
