- In the Templates Explorer window that appears, click one of three tabs depending on what type of template you want to export: Live Templates, Surround Templates, or File Templates.
- If you need to export templates from a particular settings layer, choose this layer in the Layer drop-down list. For more information on settings layers, see Managing and Sharing Options.
- Choose the desired scope and, optionally, a category to find the templates that you want to export.
- Select one or more templates to be exported.
