# Lightning Page Templates

Lightning page templates are Lightning components that have been configured to serve as templates for custom Lightning pages. Page templates can support different form factors, such as desktop or phone. When you create a Lightning page in the Lightning App Builder, you can select a page template that matches the device you’re designing the page for.

Home page templates are desktop-only. Standard app page templates support both desktop and phone. Standard record page templates support both desktop and phone, except the pinned region templates, which are desktop only. If a form factor isn’t on the options list when you try to assign a Lightning page, then the page template doesn’t support it.

When working on a page in the Lightning App Builder, you can use the form factor switcher to preview what the page looks like on different devices that the template supports.

Custom Lightning page template components are supported for record pages, app pages, and Home pages. You can create custom page templates only in Aura. See [Create a Custom Lightning Page Template Component](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/components_config_for_app_builder_template_component.htm) in the Lightning Aura Components Developer Guide.

When switching your Lightning record pages to a different template, keep these considerations in mind.

- You can’t switch to a template that supports a smaller scope of devices than the original template. For example, if you have a page using a template that supports both desktop and phone, you can’t switch the page to use a template that supports only phone or only desktop. When you choose to switch, the list of available templates reflects this rule and shows only the templates that you can switch to.
- If you switch to a page template that doesn’t support the form factor of a component on your page, that component is dropped from the page at run time.
- You can’t switch from a non-pinned region template to a pinned region template.
