Testing Your Template
When everything is finalized, you can save your template into the template file format and put it to the test. Think of this step as the final quality inspection of your page production machine. You want to make sure all of its parts are functioning properly and ready to go. Thorough testing ensures that problems are addressed ahead of time, preventing costly mistakes later on. It also helps you discover better ways to streamline production tasks, making your template even more efficient.
