How can we use Commons for template distribution?

We would like to use Commons to distribute teacher home page templates.  We know how to put the page in Commons and have teachers download, but if we make a change to the template and they download the update, it wipes out all the edits the teacher has made.  Even if you re-name the page, it gets wiped out with the update.    Anyone know of a work around for this?
