Why can’t I delete a motion template from the library?

Keep templates used by a show available and remove only an unused template.

Before you start

Check all collections that may use the template; export a copy if you need it later.

Where to find it

The delete action in the Motion Template library.

Steps

  1. Select the template and read the delete tooltip.
  2. Find sources, guest graphics or dynamic content that use it, including in other collections.
  3. If you intend to stop using it, choose a replacement in those items first.
  4. Return to the library and delete only when the action is available.

Check the result

A template still used by a show is protected from deletion.

Helpful information

Hiding a source or closing its collection does not remove its template reference. Duplicate a used template if you need a separate editable variation.

If something is wrong

Check inactive collections and sources kept for reuse. Contact support if a template remains protected after you have reviewed its uses.
