How do I reuse source appearance edits as a library template?
Save the selected appearance deliberately to the reusable design.
Before you start
Open the intended collection and prepare sample content for a rehearsal. Confirm the controls are available in your installed version.
Where to find it
Template appearance editor Also save these appearance settings to the library template.
Steps
- Edit and preview the intended element appearance.
- Review whether other sources use this template.
- Enable the save-to-library checkbox.
- Choose Save and confirm the selected design in the source.
- Reopen the library and check the editable template or custom copy.
Check the result
An editable library design is updated, or a built-in becomes a selected custom copy.
Helpful information
The checkbox starts off. A library save is distinct from source-local customization. Keep a duplicate when you want an untouched design. Hidden data overrides remain source-local.
If something is wrong
Finish incomplete values and resolve errors/conflicts before retrying. Verify the returned template selection after saving.
