I've created a custom transformer which I think can be of use to other FME enthousiasts. I want to upload it to FME Hub as described here Publishing an Item to the FME Hub (safe.com). It states that it is best practice to upload an test workspace as well, but the information provided on how to do that is minimal. Is there somewhere a template available?

Hi @matthieuv​, the purpose of a test workspace is to demonstrate the use of your custom transformer. You can come up with a simple workflow to show how it might be used-- in case you haven't seen it, 5:20-8:00 in the video shows an example. Please make sure to start it with a Creator transformer (that way others won't have to plug in any source data) and end it with a Logger or Terminator transformer. I hope this helps and thanks for contributing to the FME Hub!
