Hi @hayley-fisher-th, thanks for posting on the Community
This may be due your current user role and access rights in QuickBooks. Only admin-level users (Primary and Company) are able to edit templates.
If you have the correct permissions, please try loading QuickBooks in a different web browser or incognito window to check for any browser issues that may be causing the message.
Get back to us below if you need any further help. :)
