Overview
Ready-made option sets from us, and reusable ones you save yourself.
A template is a saved option set you can copy. Use it to avoid rebuilding the same structure for every product family, and to see how a complete setup is configured.
Templates in the app menu contains three tabs.

Template or option set?
Appears on your storefront
Yes, when active and assigned
No, ever
Has product, customer, and country rules
Yes
No
Purpose
The live form customers use
A starting point to copy
Where it lives
Option Sets
Templates
A template is never displayed on your storefront. Using one creates a new option set, and that option set goes live.
When to use a template
You are new to the app and want to see a real setup
Use a pre-designed template and take it apart
You sell something the library covers
Use that template and adapt it
You have built a setup you will repeat for other product families
Save it as a custom template
You want the same structure twice with different targeting
Duplicate the option set — quicker than going via a template
You want to insert a group of options into a set you are already building
Use Add template in the builder's add picker
Inserting a template into an existing option set
You do not have to start from a template. While building, the add picker has an Option Templates tab and an Add template action, which inserts a saved group of options into the current option set.
Names that match existing options are renumbered automatically, and conditional logic inside the template is updated so it continues to work.
See Build your options.

Notes
Templates may not be available on all plans. See Compare plans.
Using a template does not modify the original. You can reuse the same template as often as you need.
A new option set created from a template is Draft and has no product rule, so it is not displayed on your storefront until you set both.
Custom templates can be imported and exported, separately from option sets.
