How do I create a custom page from scratch?

I tried to make a new page, but when I do, all I see is a header and footer collapsed together with no space in between to add tagDiv Composer elements. The help files have a video on how to make a beautiful WP page in 3 minutes, but it doesn’t explain how that page was made initially.

1. How do I make a simple custom page from scratch using the tagDiv Composer?

2. Is there a video tutorial that gives an overview of how pages, template pages, and custom pages work in the Newspaper theme?
What I do like, is that editing one page updates all the rest. That is fantastic…but, I’d also like to just make a simple, custom page, just for special posts. In fact…

3. How do I customize a post without affecting all the other pages using the tagDiv composer?
If I choose Default (Single Template) from Post Template at the bottom of the WP Editor, I don’t get the tagDiv editor option after I publish the page. All I get is the option to import or select a template. Again, is the only way to change a post by using only Templates? I just don’t want to be importing a hundred different templates over the next year for each unique post, just to find out that I could have edited each post individually.

Ah…I think I figured out question 3. I can import a template and it gets “added to my library” of post templates. Ok…I definitely think there needs to be a page in the tutorials that explains the concept of how page management works. If this is the case, then where do I “import” a blank template for an actual “New Page?”
