Template changes will not be reflected on your users' existing virtual machines until after you publish again.
1. Wait until the template VM is started, and then select **Connect to template** on the toolbar to connect to the template VM, and follow instructions. If it's a Windows machine, you will see an option to download the RDP file.

## Publish the template VM

If you don't publish the template while creating the lab, you can publish it later. Before publishing, you may want to connect to the template VM, and update it with any software. When you publish a template, Azure Lab Services creates VMs in the lab by using the template. The number of VMs created in this process are the number of VMs you specified when you published it for the first time or what you specified on the Virtual machine pool page. All virtual machines have the same configuration as the template.

They should be in **Stopped** state. You can start a student VM, connect to the VM, stop the VM, and delete the VM on this page. You can start them on this page or let your students start the VMs.
