Which templates are used on the site?
You can quickly find out which templates are used on the site via the DESIGN > TEMPLATE EDITOR area.
On this page you will find listed the current custom templates, and which page they are assigned to.
Renaming Templates with descriptive names
You can give templates more descriptive names to make it easier to identify each template, via the DESIGN REWORDS area.
To add a reword enter the name of the template as it appears e.g. Template A on the left and on the right, the new descriptor for the template.
This will then appear in the SITE TEMPLATE dropdown when setting the template and in the TEMPLATE EDITOR area.
