URL to create a new Google document from a template

I don't use a template, because more likely I just want a consistent way to create a new document from an existing document - without accidentally editing the original document.I first create an ideal version of a file. From the menu, I then choose Make a copy..., which then allows me to select the target Google Drive directory. This directory is where all new versions of this file will be created. On submitting the form, a new tab opens, from which I (quickly) copy the URL before the page redirects to the new version.The /copy? URL looks something like: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://docs.google.com/a/example.com/document/d/{SOMEID}/copy?id%3D{SOMEID}%26copyCollaborators%3Dfalse%26copyComments%3Dfalse%26title%3DNew%2520document%26copyDestination%3D... I've truncated the URL above, replacing some values, but you can see there are some values in there that can be modified, such as whether to copy comments and collaborators.I then save this URL as a bookmark, or distribute it to my staff, or paste it back into the bottom of the initial document (Use this file as a template) and publish the initial document.
