Hello,

I am creating a modification of a maze game. On Screen1, there is a Canvas with Wall sprites:

![Screen Shot 2020-10-02 at 11.56.13 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/8/e81e1dadc4f3b28d15f3bc53cdd22ce9cd71a93c.png)

I want to save Screen1 as a template screen, and create more screens from the same template, to be able to re-use the maze and the code

When I create a new screen from the template, the wall sprites do not show up on the canvas for the new screen. Is there is way to re-use the same sprites/canvas on different screens?

This is a really big problem. I faced too.

There is a workaround - automatic maze generation. You can find information on how to do this on the Internet.

I figured out how to get the sprites to show- you have to go through each new screen, click on each sprite under Stage1, and under properties assign the Stage Selection to stage 1.
