Just curious if there was anything that made a partial view different from a regular view other than convention.
Code-wise they look and work similar but I was curious if there was a difference (other than specifying the template page, etc at the top).

Views are the general result of a page that results in a display. It's the highest level container except the masterpage. While a partial view is for a small piece of content that may be reused on different pages, or multiple times in a page.
The primary difference between the two methods is that Partial generates the HTML from the View and returns it to the View to be incorporated into the page. RenderPartial, on the other hand, doesn't return anything and, instead, adds its HTML directly to the Response object's output.
A partial view is a Razor markup file ( . cshtml ) without an @page directive that renders HTML output within another markup file's rendered output. The term partial view is used when developing either an MVC app, where markup files are called views, or a Razor Pages app, where markup files are called pages.
Partial View can be a parent view and we can use it as a parent view of any partial view. We can simply pass Model to show data in the partial view or we can send the data in the partial view with the help of AJAX call.
If you're using Razor, there is no real difference between a partial view and a view, they're both cshtml files. A view is a view. If you want to use a view as a partial view, then there are some restrictions, such as not using a Layout file.
In WebForms View engine, a partial view is typically an ascx, versus an aspx. There are some subtle differences there in the definitions, but they're still largely interchangeable.
Partial versus full is all about the way it's used. If you return the view in a View() method, it's a full view. If you return it in a Partial, then it's a partial.
