Don't forget to set variable keywords in the document. With these keywords, users can fill the relevant section with unique words. You will see a demo of keyword preparation below.
As seen in the screenshot, we prepared the words that will be specific to the users as KEYWORDS.
In workflows, find KEYWORDS with the expression "find&replace" in the action where the document is created, and replace the values entered by the user in the relevant inputs.
Prepare a policy and present it to users simply!
