- Alias can be created on any page. It need not to be on the same page as the original.
- The properties (width, color, frame, etc.) of the Alias can be different from the original.
Alias is a method of quoting an image on many pages or pasting a frequently updated information like "News!" on many pages.
Page Template is also a way to reuse the same content, but, Alias has more detailed options. Besides, one page can have only one Page Template, but many Aliases.
