# Templates

> List templates, get details, and generate documents.

The Templates API gives you access to reusable document templates stored in your Lumin Workspace. Templates contain pre-defined fields and layouts, allowing you to generate personalized documents or signature requests without starting from scratch each time.

## Key concepts

* **Template** — a reusable document layout with placeholder fields (e.g., name, date, amount) that can be filled programmatically.
* **Sign Template** (`sign_` prefix), created from the [Lumin Sign site](https://www.luminpdf.com/app/sign), designed for eSignature workflows. Use with [Send Signature Request from Template](/tabs/api-reference/api/signature-requests/send-signature-request-from-template) to create signature requests.
* **AgreementGen Template** (`ag_` prefix), created from the [Lumin AgreementGen site](https://www.luminpdf.com/app/generate), designed for automated document generation via the [Agreements API](/tabs/api-reference/api/agreements/agreements) or embedding in signature requests. Use with [Send Signature Request from Template](/tabs/api-reference/api/signature-requests/send-signature-request-from-template) to create signature requests.
* **PDF Template** (`pdf_` prefix), created from the [Lumin site](https://www.luminpdf.com/app/pdf), designed for generating standalone PDF documents via [Generate Document from Template](/tabs/api-reference/api/templates/generate-document-from-template) or the Documents API.

## Typical workflow

1. **List** available templates in your Workspace to find the template you need.
2. **Get details** for a specific template to retrieve its fields, roles, and collections.
3. **Generate** a document or signature request by filling in the template fields with your data.
