Create Project Template
First thing you need to do is define your project structure, including containers and diagrams. You can even define default model elements in your project.
When finish, go to Project > Export > XML to export your project into Visual Paradigm XML format.
Upload Project Template
You can now upload the XML file to the repository as a project template.
