 # Edit an existing device template
 
-*This article applies to solution builders and device developers.*
-
 A device template includes a model that describes how a device interacts with IoT Central. This model defines the capabilities of the device and how to IoT Central interacts with them. Devices can send telemetry and property values to IoT Central, IoT Central can send property updates and commands to a device. IoT Central also uses the model to define interactions with IoT Central features such as jobs, rules, and exports.
 
 Changes to the model in a device template can affect your entire application, including any connected devices. Changes to a capability that's used by rules, exports, device groups, or jobs may cause them to behave unexpectedly or not work at all. For example, if you remove a telemetry definition from a template:
