Templates

What are templates?

Templates allow you to save section layouts, including blocks and block contents, and easily add it to any content type (excluding Sidebars and Expand/collapse groups). This can be useful for multiple pages that follow the same formatting or even including the same content (e.g. related links, links to social media, etc.) on multiple pages.

Individual sections or an entire layout can be saved as templates.
