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

  1. Edit and preview the intended element appearance.
  2. Review whether other sources use this template.
  3. Enable the save-to-library checkbox.
  4. Choose Save and confirm the selected design in the source.
  5. 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.
