Describe the feature you'd like

I'll try to formulate my idea:
Is it possible to build a function for a specific role (e.g. "Public") that automatically saves a template page as a new page when it is edited?
So that a template does not have to be selected first, but the user or guest simply edits the page and a new page is then automatically generated from it.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Guests would not have to be instructed in the procedure for using the templates.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I didn't find anything similar to this.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

0 to 6 months
