What is the difference between a template and a framework in computer science?

So I know both of them are skeletons, meaning they are basically already written code to make a programmer’s life easier so they don’t have to start from scratch. So what exactly is the difference?

A framework is like a toolbox – it provides tools to build something. For example, Angular is a JavaScript framework which you can use to build web applications. It avoids developers having to ‘re-invent the wheel’.

A template is more like a built Lego kit. It’s a ready made thing that you can adapt to your needs, but it’s not really something you can make just anything with.
