Global templates vs Space templates: which statement is correct about their scope and creation?

• A. Space templates are global; Global templates are space-specific
• B. Space templates are available in all spaces; Global templates are available in all spaces
• C. Space templates are available in a specific space and created by space admin; Global templates are available in all spaces and created by confluence admin
• D. There is no difference

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is how the two types of templates differ in scope and who creates them. Space templates live inside a single space, and they’re created and maintained by that space’s administrator. This means they’re available only when you’re working within that specific space, helping that space enforce its own conventions.

Global templates, by contrast, sit at the site level and are managed by the Confluence administrator. They show up across all spaces, so anyone starting a page in any space can use them to maintain consistency across the entire instance.

So, the statement that space templates are available in a specific space and created by the space admin, while global templates are available in all spaces and created by the Confluence admin, accurately reflects how scope and creation rights are organized. The other options misstate either the reach of space templates or who can create global templates.
