This means that your area a space administrator can create templates using the standard default Confluence editor, and then they can make those templates available to your team. You can also use rudimentary basic variables, which are brought up for consideration to the author when creating a new page in the "template assistant."
Blueprints are even more powerful than templates. Atlassian introduced blueprints to Confluence about six years agoin 2014.

As a result, they greatly simplify the page creation process.
