Switching your one-sheet template does not touch your words. It changes which section argues for you first.

Everything On is the longest of the four: header, about, flagship, topics, best-for, stats, testimonials, client logos, contact, every section the editor offers, in sequence. It is for speakers who want the full page and nothing decorative, and it is the only one of the four that does not trade one section for another.

Trying one costs you nothing you have already written

This is the part worth knowing before you touch the picker at all: switching templates keeps every word and image you have entered and redraws it into the new layout. Nothing gets cleared by trying a different look. If you are not sure whether Contrast or Minimal fits your talk better, switch between them and look. You are not risking the bio you spent an hour on to find out.

Each template starts with its own section order, and you can override it

The order sections run in above is each template's default, not a fixed rule. You can drag sections into whatever order you want, and that ordering saves to your one-sheet and wins over the template's default from then on. If you later want back the order the template shipped with, a reset option returns you to it. So the defaults above are worth reading as a starting argument about what should lead, Editorial leads with topics, Contrast leads with one talk and a photo, Minimal leads with almost nothing but the bio, not as a constraint you are stuck inside.

A section you added is not deleted when you switch away from it

One more thing that makes trying templates lower stakes than it looks: not every template draws every section. If you have turned on a block that a different template does not include in its default view, switching to that template does not delete it from your one-sheet. It just is not drawn while you are looking at that template. Switch to one that does include it and your content is still there, untouched.

Pick by how you sell yourself, not by the thumbnail

The honest way to choose is to match the template to what is actually doing the convincing on your page. If that is a strong stage photo and one flagship talk, start with Contrast. If it is a bio and a track record with nothing else competing for the eye, start with Minimal. If you genuinely want every section live at once, Everything On is the one built not to trade any of them away.

Whichever you land on, the layout is only ever half the argument. What the one-sheet score is actually measuring covers the other half, the headline, the offer, and the proof that the score checks regardless of which template is drawing them. And if your one-sheet is still living as a PDF attachment instead of a page with a URL, why it should be a web page instead is worth reading before the template choice matters much at all.
