# Templates

Article templates allow you to follow a standardized format in your knowledge base and make sure documentation writers are providing the required information when creating a new article. Templates include the same blocks and editing features available in the standard article editor.

## Templates

{% hint style="info" %}
Leave internal notes in article templates to provide guidance to the author on rules they should follow or considerations they should pay attention to.
{% endhint %}
