plantillas

Plantillas is the Spanish plural of plantilla and is used to refer to templates or models that serve as guides for creating multiple similar items. It describes predesigned formats for documents, forms, or digital content that include placeholders and predefined styles to ensure consistency across outputs. In software, publishing, and instructional design, plantillas help users start from a ready-made structure rather than building from scratch.

Plantilla also denotes the personnel of an organization—the staff, workforce, or roster. In this sense, it refers to all employees or, in sports, to all players on a team. Phrases such as ampliar la plantilla (to expand the staff) or recortar la plantilla (to cut the staff) reflect changes to headcount and composition.

Usage examples span corporate document templates, website and software templates, HR or payroll forms, and sports team rosters. The term emphasizes reusability and a defined group, whether describing a design resource or a people-based roster. Regional variations exist, but the core meanings—template or model, and workforce or roster—remain common across Spanish-speaking contexts.
