Control of documents

If my company is using a standard template for policies and procedures and we want to change this template to satisfy both business & ISO needs, if we have the new template approved via defined formal channel as described in our document control procedure, shall we now change all the existing policies and procedure with the new template or we can state in our document control procedure that starting from "A defined date" any new or updated policy/procedure shall use the new template?

please note that both templates fulfills ISO 27001 requirements.

Answer: ISO 27001 doesn't require that all the documents use the same format, (the use of templates is only a best practice), so you can state in our document control procedure that any new or updated policy/procedure must be used after a defined date.
