Templates are content pages that are reused to provide a consistent look and feel.
Templates are useful when creating CMS sites for the following reasons.
| Create new pages rapidly without risk by copying pages | Using a template to create new pages saves time because you do not have to keep repeating the same steps. |
| Provide a restore point for pages within the system | Have a working template available if something goes wrong in one of the blocks or in the theme CSS. It is often easier to start over from the template instead of trying to undo complex changes. |
| Provide a functional reference for editors on the site project | Having the template as a reference ensures that pages continue to conform to the style guide. |
