Few definitions to help to get you started:
Document type - a document with its own set of data fields; for example sales order with data fields related to Sales Order, quote with Quote data fields.
Base template - a template that is available for all users from initial signup. Documents have multiple variants of templates available (eg. from sales order document you can print "Packing list" and "Sales order" templates).

These will be available for all users in the company on a specific document type (eg. if you use "Packing list" as a base then your new template will be visible on the sales order document)
