The authoringTemplate element

The authoringTemplate element is used to specify the authoring template that will be applied to the content item. The value of this element should be the name of an existing authoring template.

authoringTemplate

If the authoring template is located in a different library from the content item, you can specify the library name as well. If no library is specified, the Web Content Integrator will search the library that was specified in the <ibmwcm:library> element. If no <ibmwcm:library> element is present, the Web Content Integrator will search the default library specified in the task configuration.

Once a content item has been created, it is not possible to change its authoring template. Therefore, when processing an update, if the authoringTemplate specified in the feed entry does not match the name of the authoring template that was originally used to create the content item the Web Content Integrator will generate an error message.
