After selecting a template the assembly of the current page will be inherited from the template assembly, and attributes defined in a template will be available for editing in the context of the page.

Note

In some cases, it’s handy to use existing page instances as a template for new pages To use the page as a template, open Structure or Search tab in the template selection dialog.

The content of the Edit pane is shown in accordance with attributes used on the page and their settings. The screenshot below displays the following editable attributes alias, header (title), tree.
