Which statement best describes the Template Layer?

• A. Prints normally with artwork
• B. Is used as a visual guide and does not print
• C. Cannot contain objects
• D. Automatically converts to a regular layer on export

Answer: (B)

A Template Layer is designed to serve as a visual guide that you reference while creating artwork, and it doesn’t print by default. It’s shown dimmed and is usually locked so you can’t accidentally move or edit the guide, which makes it ideal for tracing or aligning elements on top of it. This is why the statement describing it as a visual guide that does not print is the best choice. The idea that it prints normally with artwork isn’t correct because its purpose is to stay as a reference that doesn’t show up in final output unless you deliberately enable printing. It isn’t true that it cannot contain objects—you can place objects on a Template Layer to use as guides. And it doesn’t automatically convert to a regular layer on export; you’d change its status if you want to print or edit it, but it won’t switch by itself just from exporting.
