I've used the cookie versus the cookie cutter analogy for years to explain the difference between a template and a more specific document, but Toastmost users continue to get confused. This confusion causes problems both for organizing meeting agendas and for editing the design and marketing content of a website.

This is part of an ongoing documentation project, so please provide feedback if anything isn't as clear as it ought to be.
