DescribeTemplate - Amazon QuickSight

Use the DescribeTemplate operation to describe a template's metadata. To use this operation, you need the ID of the template that you want to describe. You can use the ListTemplates operation to list all templates and their corresponding template IDs.

Following is an example AWS CLI command for this operation.

aws quicksight describe-template 
    --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID 
    --template-id TEMPLATEID 
    --version-number VERSION

anchor
aws quicksight describe-template 
    --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID 
    --template-id TEMPLATEID

The parameter value for alias-name can be $LATEST.
