# What are templates?

In **MyStudio**, **templates** are pre-built course or playlist structures that help you create learning content more quickly.  
Instead of starting from scratch, you can begin with a template and customize it to suit your needs.

## Types of Templates

* **Course Templates**  
  Provide a ready-made course outline with pre-structured sections, units, and sample content.  
  Example: A “4-week training course” template might already include weekly modules with placeholders for videos, readings, and quizzes.  

* **Playlist Templates**  
  Provide a starting point for building playlists, with a suggested sequence of videos or courses.  
  Example: A “Legal Research Basics” template might include key video topics already arranged in order.
