You will find the page in the sender’s Notion workspace. To use the template, you will need to duplicate it into your workspace.

To do that, click the three-dot icon that appears when you hover over the page in the left sidebar, click on the ‘Duplicate to’ option, and select the Notion account you want to copy the template into.
