Content model templates
Overview
The Content model templates app allows you to create, manage and install templates of content types or content models across multiple spaces and environments. Using the app, you can manage and reuse common content structures in different spaces in your organization. You can build templates from your existing content models and install them in other spaces and environments.
Templates are versioned containers living at organization level, where content types can be stored and deployed from. You can add and deploy content types using the Content model templates app, or using the Content Management API.
NOTE: The templated content types count towards the usage quota on all spaces.
With templates you can:
Define collections of content types that belong together.
Deploy these collections to your desired spaces with a click of a button.
Include a whole content model into a single template and install that into multiple spaces.
Create templates on a component basis, and install the templates you need into spaces to form a composite content model on installation. Multiple templates can be installed into a single space.
