Render customized content into a ready draft
Template Studio's create step: takes the template's content (or the caller's edited version), substitutes {{placeholder}} values (unfilled ones render as visible blanks), renders a fresh PDF, and creates a draft with the file attached, recipients from the template's slots (optionally addressed), and signature/date fields placed from the rendered layout and bound per slot. Public templates render with the SAMPLE banner.
