If you need to alter a core standard template's behavior, what is the recommended approach?

• A. Copy and modify the copy
• B. Edit the original
• C. Use Template Manager
• D. Delete and recreate

Answer: (A)

When you need to change how a standard template behaves, duplicating the template and making changes on the copy keeps the official baseline intact. The core template is the official starting point; altering it directly risks breaking updates, affecting everyone who relies on the standard behavior, and makes maintenance harder. By working on a copy, you can tailor the behavior to your needs, test it without impacting the standard template, and still reap the benefits of official improvements later by reapplying them to your copy or re-syncing as appropriate. The original remains pristine for upgrades, auditing, and consistency, while the customized version can be deployed separately.
