Hi! I am fairly new to building on n8n but I am loving it so far. I’ve built a workflow that serves as an AI agent which uses a vector database to draw from company documents. I spent a few hours building this and thought it could be useful to the community. How can I upload these to the templates page? From what I found through research it seemed like I needed an active account hosted on n8n to do so. I am self-hosting n8n on my own website and server. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks, Mike ---

Ehy Mike! Welcome in N8N community! 🙂 If you’re looking to share your workflow with the community or get it published in the official Templates section, here are your options: * * * **1) Join the n8n Template Creators Program** This is the official way to submit your workflows to the Templates page on [n8n.io](https://n8n.io). - You can sign up here: [Your connected workspace for wiki, docs & projects | Notion](https://creators.n8n.io/hub) - Once submitted, your template will be reviewed by the n8n team. If anything needs to be adjusted, they’ll reach out with suggestions. Note: this process typically works best with an active [n8n.cloud](https://n8n.cloud) account, but it’s not a strict requirement, especially if you’re contributing actively from a self-hosted setup. * * * **2) Share your Workflow in the Community Forum** If you’re self-hosting, a great way to contribute is by posting your workflow in the **Showcase** or **Workflows** categories. When you do, include: - A short description of what your workflow does - Which nodes are involved (especially if you’re using community nodes) - A sanitized version of the exported JSON (remove credentials or sensitive data) The n8n team regularly monitors the forum and may reach out if your workflow is a good fit for the official templates hub. * * * **3) Submit via GitHub** If you’re comfortable with Git, you can also contribute directly via Pull Request to the official [n8n-templates GitHub repo](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n-templates). Just follow the structure used in that repo and include proper metadata and instructions. * * * Note: If you’re not seeing the “Templates” section in your self-hosted instance, make sure the environment variable `N8N_TEMPLATES_ENABLED=true` is set. ---

How do I share a workflow when my n8n is self hosted? ---

Hey @tracyselena hope all is well, if you are asking about sharing the workflow here on the forum, in the post. [this](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/3/c/3c5d4799d109b446df8875d731db2800e7c55bc6.gif) is how you can do it. Unless you are actually interested in finding out how to share templates, which is a whole other thing. ---

I had to move my selfhosting n8n to a new server so I’m actually looking for how to export/import or copy/paste. THank you! ---

To copy / paste you can choose nodes which you need to copy with your mouse or ctrl/cmd-a to select all and then ctrl/cmd+c to copy and ctrl/cmd+v to paste. Alternatively after selecting the nodes to copy you can right click and choose `Copy x nodes` ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/3/f/3fad6815ddd892992033f19f04bd28b61d143c2b.png) ---
