# Template
The Confluence REST API template section provides a flexible and dynamic way to interact programmatically with Confluence templates, enabling users to automate and streamline content creation, modification, and management. Through this API, you can:
• **Create templates:** Automate the creation of page templates that can be reused across spaces or within a specific space, ensuring consistency and efficiency in content generation.
• **Retrieve existing templates:** Access detailed information about available templates, including their content, layout, and associated metadata.
• **Update templates:** Modify existing templates programmatically, allowing teams to keep templates up-to-date and aligned with changing documentation standards or guidelines.
• **Delete templates (TODO):** Remove outdated or unused templates, keeping the Confluence environment clean and relevant.
Integrate Confluence templates into custom workflows using the Confluence REST API to streamline content management, ensure documentation consistency, and automate tasks.
## Update content template
`PUT /wiki/rest/api/template`
Update modifies a content template. Note that blueprint templates cannot be updated through
