Pre-loaded templates are kind of default templates that would occur with the product when the customer opens a product for customizing. These templates have to be assigned/loaded from the backend by the admin therefore they’re called “pre-loaded”. You can set these design templates for any product. In a configurable product, you can set the design template for all the child products. You can also assign one template to the parent product and the rest child product will contain the same template by default.
