Start Your Next Post from a Template Instead of a Blank Page
A quick tour of the content app's template library — six starting structures so your next post doesn't begin from nothing.
The blank page is the biggest drag on writing consistency. It's not that people don't know how to write a case study or a how-to guide — it's that starting one from nothing takes longer than it should and produces a different structure every time. The content app's Templates page is a small, direct fix: pick a proven shape, start there.
What's in the library
Six templates ship today, each built around a structure suited to a different kind of piece:
- Blog Post — a standard structure with an introduction, body sections, and a conclusion.
- Product Review — pros, cons, and a final verdict.
- How-To Guide — step-by-step instructional structure for walking through something complex.
- Case Study — an in-depth structure for a specific use case or customer story.
- News Article — an inverted-pyramid, journalistic structure.
- Listicle — a list-based format built for scanning.
Each one is organized under a category so you can find the shape you need without reading all six descriptions every time.
Don't confuse this with the website builder's template library
If you've used the website-builder app, it has its own, much larger library — around 500 full page templates for building out a site. This is a different, smaller thing: content structures for a single article, not page layouts for a website. They solve different problems and live in different apps.
When to reach for a template versus starting free-form
If you already know exactly what you want to say and the structure is unusual for what you're writing, starting blank is fine. But for the recurring formats — the weekly how-to, the monthly case study, the product review you write every time you ship something new — a template means the structure is decided before you start, and you can spend your first few minutes on the actual content instead of on deciding where the sections go.
