+{Project} provides the following default template types:
+
+* Provisioning templates
+* Partition tables
+
+You can use the default templates or create custom templates.
+
+Provisioning templates are implemented with parameters that you can configure as host parameters to affect the provisioning process.
+You can also add custom steps to certain templates by creating custom `pre` or `post` snippets and thus customize the provisioning process further without editing the default templates.
+
+Thanks to partition tables implemented as templates, you can create custom, even dynamic, partition tables.
+
+When you do not edit the default templates, maintenance is easier and you get the benefit of updates to the templates from {Team}.
