Pages and Collections in templates. Whats the Difference?

When you are in the customize section of your theme, you can create templates. Having the option to create a page or a collection template. When editing each they seem identical. What is the difference between a page and a collection?

Some template types can be used to display multiple pages using the resources in your store. These template types include:

  • collections
  • products
  • blogs
  • blog posts
  • pages

All themes come with a default template for each type. This default template is what resources use if you don’t have an alternate template explicitly set.

So when I am creating a new template page in collections, It will not affect any back-end linkings?

How do I also link a collection of products to the template page I have created in collections?

Thank you
