Quick answer
A template is a pre-built structure (a document, spreadsheet, or design file) that someone fills in with their own content, saving them the time of starting from a blank page.
Templates work best for things people redo often: a proposal, a content calendar, a report layout. The value is in the structure and the thinking already built in, not just the formatting.
