Reusable Blank Template

About this page template

The Reusable Blank template is a flexible, foundational page template available to all authors. This template is primarily used for landing pages and allows an author to combine predesigned, pre-developed, pre-design-approved preset features on a page to create a layout. For our advanced super authors, it makes it easy to effortlessly combine Core Components to build dynamic layouts.

To create even more ease and speed up time to market, all authors are encouraged to choose from a range of pre-designed,, pre-design-approved, and pre-developed presets and preset page layouts to set up their pages.
