Templates comprise predefined configurations for content generation, which users can customize to their preference. Each template is distinguished by two primary attributes:

• Type:
  • Generation: Tailored for crafting new posts.
  • Revision: Intended for revising or updating established posts.
• Origin:
  • System: System-based templates are immutable and cannot be removed. However, users can create a duplicate.
  • User: User-originated templates offer flexibility; they can be modified, deleted, or duplicated as needed.

Within the post type editor, whether you’re using the Modern or Classic version, you’ll notice an additional panel named “WP Copilot”.

Depending on whether you’re crafting a new post or editing an existing one, you’ll find either a “Generate Panel” or “Review Panel” button. Clicking this initiates a modal loaded with a comprehensive range of configurations, leveraging AI to facilitate the creation of tailored content.

Here, you can manage templates for content generation: you can view, filter, create, modify, delete, or even duplicate them.

Below, we provide a detailed explanation for each section of this tab:
