# Create Template Editing Session

`POST /public/v1/templates/{id}/editing-sessions`

Creates a new editing session for the Embedded Editor. The response includes an E-Token, which is required to open the template.

#### Limitations

- **Single Active Session per User-Template Pair** 
  Only one editing session can be active at a time for a specific user and template. Creating a new session for the same user-template pair will automatically invalidate the previous one.

- **Weekly Session Cap** 
  A maximum of **250** editing sessions can be created for a single template per week. Any attempt to exceed this limit will result in a `403 Forbidden` error.

## Request body

  - `lifetime` integer — Lifetime of the E-Token in seconds.
