How do you create a page template in Sitefinity Feather?

To create a page template in Sitefinity Feather, the correct approach involves creating a .cshtml file located in the specified directory within your resource package. Specifically, this is done in the directory path ~\ResourcePackages[YourResourcePackage]\MVC\Views\Layouts. This method allows you to define the layout and structure of your page template using Razor syntax, which is a powerful feature of ASP.NET MVC.

When you place your .cshtml file in the designated folder, Sitefinity recognizes it as a layout template that can be used by your pages. This process is integrated into the Feather architecture, which emphasizes a separation of concerns and encourages developers to work directly with MVC conventions.

The other options, while potentially useful in different contexts, do not specifically address the creation of a page template in Sitefinity Feather. Defining a template through the backend interface or using command line tools may be serviceable for other tasks, but the direct approach of working with .cshtml files accurately fits the design pattern established in Sitefinity's Feather framework. Exporting and modifying templates can be useful for customizing existing layouts, but it does not directly outline the creation process from scratch as required in this scenario.
