Creating a new template

Article Templates are reusable pieces of content, including text, tables, images, videos, or any other preformatted snippets you create. You can use article templates to add a disclaimer, custom formatting block, notice, warning, preformatted text, recurring paragraph, boilerplate text etc. for quick insertion to your articles.
