Template vs. Page Builder Pages

Template Pages

Template Pages are pre-built pages with embedded content in them, meaning you fill in fields or make selections from a menu to create a page. If you make a page with a template but don’t add anything to the content editor, you will still see something on the frontend. Your homepage is an example of a template page. Many template pages do not even have the option to use the page builder. Any content not programmed into the template is filled out with fields.

Page Builder Pages

Page Builder Pages are essentially blank canvases. When you create a page with no template page, you will have an empty white field on the frontend until you start adding content blocks to the content editor, in the backend. Please note that the page builder blocks are still styled to your design. The freedom is in flexibility of how things are organized and presented on the page.

If you need help trying to decide which block to use for content, reference the page in both your design and in your backend under Pages title "Page Builder". This is a good place to start when you are stuck.
