Then using arcpy I can extract the project template to a new location on the network as a "new project". It works for me, not sure if it would work for your use case.</P> Mon, 22 Feb 2021 15:21:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/create-new-map/m-p/1029119#M60048 ChrisHolmes 2021-02-22T15:21:24Z
