Channel Template
All the structure defined for a channel that can be common to more than one channel such as: pages, sub-channels, channel and page templates, access control (except for access control permissions, which must be configured manually after the channel is created) and service instances, makes it convenient to create templates so that such structure is only created once and applied to other channels during their creation.
Any updates to the template may or may not be replicated to the channels.
From the management of the channel template, one can manage sub-channels, pages, services, and other templates (channel and page).
