template

A template is a model document you can use as a starting point for your own document. Most templates include placeholder text and images that you can replace with your own content, making it easy to get started. You can also delete placeholders, and add new elements, such as images, text boxes, or tables.

Pages for iCloud templates are designed for some of the more common types of documents. There are word-processing templates for documents that are primarily text (such as reports and letters), and page layout templates for more customized documents (such as books, posters, and flyers).

Note: You can’t switch to a different template after you begin creating your document.
