Templates are the basis of the AEM page. The author can create a page using a template. These templates define the basic structure of the page, what components can be used on the page and design of the page.
With AEM 6.2, Editable Templates were introduced to reduce the dependency of authors on developers.
In AEM 6.3 Editable Templates are quite a mature and powerful feature.
AEM Static Templates
· Static templates are created by developers ( It defines page rendering component, availability of template for authors to create the page )
· Stored in /apps directory of CRX
· Once a page is created using templates, after that if we make any change in the static template it wouldn't affect the page.
· Design mode is available for applying Page design.
AEM Editable Templates
· Editable Templates can be created by template-authors ( non-developers ).
· Stored in /conf directory of CRX
· Pages created using editable templates would affect if any changes on editable templates are done.
· Page design is controlled by content and page policies. Hence no design mode available.
