Understanding the Requirement: The need is to create a large set of pages that share the same content structure but contain different content. This suggests a need for consistency in layout with flexibility in the content.

Editable Templates:

Definition: Editable templates in AEM allow for the creation of templates that can be modified and extended without developer intervention. They provide a structured layout that authors can use to create pages.

Advantages: Editable templates offer flexibility, allowing changes to be propagated to all pages created from the template. This ensures a consistent structure across all pages.

Implementation Steps:

Create an Editable Template: Navigate to Tools > General > Templates and create a new template. Define the structure, including required components and layouts.

Configure Policies: Set policies for components to ensure consistent behavior and styling.

Create Pages from the Template: Authors can use this template to create new pages, ensuring they follow the same structure but allowing for unique content.

Benefits:

Efficiency: Reduces the time and effort needed to create and maintain multiple pages with the same structure.

Consistency: Ensures all pages adhere to the same design and layout standards, providing a uniform user experience.
