Backup files have the same name as the original template with two underscores and a
progressive number (without leading zeros) at the end: originalname__1.OL-template,
originalname__2.OL-template, etc.
Note
The Auto Save function does not cause backup files to be created.
File properties
On the menu, select File > Properties to view and complement the file properties. See "File
Properties dialog" on page879.
The file properties can also be used in scripts; see "template" on page1303. If you are not
familiar with writing scripts, refer to "Writing your own scripts" on page798.
Sharing a template
To share a template, you can send the template file itself, or save the template to a package file,
optionally together with a data mapping configuration,a Job Creation Preset and an Output
Creation Preset. (See "Job Creation Presets" on page1106 and "Output Creation Presets" on
page1119 for more details.)
To create a package file, select File >Send to Workflowand choose File in the Destination
box. For the other options, see "Sending files to Workflow" on the next page. The package file
has the extension .OL-package and can be opened in the Designer (see "Opening a package
file" on page436).
Exporting a template report
A template report can be used for archiving purposes or to provide information about the
template to people who do not have access to Connect. Such a report can be exported in PDF
or XML format. By default it contains a summary of the template with an overview of all the
settings and resources that are used in the template: media, master pages, contexts, sections,
images, scripts etc. The file properties are included as well (see "File Properties dialog" on
page879).
To open the Export Template Report wizard, select File > Export Report. For a description of
all options, see "Export Template Report wizard" on page878.
