title: Benchling Entry Template API
version: 2.0.0
description: 'A template used to create new `DocumentLike` objects with pre-populated content and structure.
`EntryTemplate`s contain boilerplate text, tables, placeholders, and other note content that provides a
consistent starting point for documentation. When a new `DocumentLike` object is created from a template, the
template''s content is cloned into the new object. Templates can optionally have an `EntrySchema` to ensure
created objects capture required metadata. typeemplates belong to a `TemplateCollection` and support versioned
publishing (see `PublishingRecord`). In the UI, these are typically called "Templates" within the
Template Collections feature.'
