Manage templates


You can manage the list of your local template packs and aliases (links to local folders, network locations, and secondary storage devices). For example, you can rename the local packs or aliases, and you can remove aliases from the list. If an alias no longer works because the template folder has been moved, you can browse to the new location to restore the link.

To find the templates you like, you can mark them as favorites. In addition, you can view and change the properties of a template. For example, you can change its title and language, add new tags, and delete existing tags. You can change the template category, or you can assign a custom category to a template. When you no longer need a template, you can delete it.
