+* If you delete {VirtProductName}-provided templates in version 4.8 or later, the templates are automatically recreated by the {VirtProductName} Operator. However, if you delete {VirtProductName}-provided templates created before version 4.8, those earlier templates are not automatically recreated after deletion. As a result, any edit or update to a virtual machine referencing a deleted earlier template will fail.
+
 * If a cloning operation is initiated before the source is available to be cloned, the operation stalls indefinitely. This is because the clone authorization expires before the cloning operation starts. (link:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1855182[*BZ#1855182*])
 +
 ** As a workaround, delete the `DataVolume` object that is requesting the clone. When the source is available, recreate the `DataVolume` object that you deleted so that the cloning operation can complete successfully.
