 # Templates
 
-Templates can be created for prompts to make them reusable and shareable.
+A **template** can combine a prompt, system prompt, model, default model options, schema, and fragments into a single reusable unit.
+
+Only one template can be used at a time. To compose multiple shorter pieces of prompts together consider using {ref}`fragments <fragments>` instead.
