Spanish term or phrase: plantilla

I have a group of medical consent forms, each very slightly different. At the top of the first page of one is the line, "Plantilla 1". Another says "Plantilla 3" etc.
They are not templates. Does it mean merely "Plan 1" or Form 1? Any ideas?

But perhaps they are referring to different parts of the body

Thanks to all. I'll use "form" and let the reviewer fix it. It is a back translation & sometimes one just can't guess what was in the original English.

version

Explanation:
If it's referring to the document itself, maybe this is appropriate.

Good luck!

Format

Explanation:
I'd say "format" is what they mean, as you suppose....

I must say "plantilla" is a strange term to encounter repeatedly in medical informed consents. If the word "plantilla" was at the top of a formatted page (table-like format), I'd go with "spreadsheet", but that doesn't seem to be the case here...

Good luck
