## Primary Purpose

A listing template lets you start a new [listing](/docs/concepts/catalog/listings) from an existing catalog item, so creating similar listings is fast.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What a template is">
    A named reference to a catalog item, optionally with one or more [document templates](/docs/settings/documents) attached.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Create & edit">
    Name the template, pick the catalog item it starts from, and choose any document templates to attach. Edit or delete templates at any time.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Using a template">
    New listings created from the template start from its catalog item and attached documents.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  A template stores this reference only — it doesn't define its own field-by-field defaults.
</Note>

## Visibility and Permissions
