Export a project or publish it as a template

Your project is yours. You can take a copy at any time, or turn it into a template that other people can start from.

Export as a zip

1. In the editor, open More actions (three dots).
2. Choose Export as zip.

Your browser downloads a zip of every file in the project.

Publish as a template

Publishing creates a package in PGB Marketplace. Your project stays as it is.

1. Open More actions and choose Publish as a template.
2. Work through the four steps.

1. Settings. Studio reads the values in pgb.config.json and suggests them as form fields. Tick the ones people may change. For each, set a Label, a Type (text, richtext, number, color, image, file, url, email, phone, select, multiselect, boolean, collection or date), a Starting value, Required, and Choices where it applies. If you see "No settings were found", add some values to pgb.config.json first.

2. Locked files. Tick the files people should not break by accident. They can still unlock them if they know what they are doing.

3. Details. Choose the Publisher (or create one), then enter Template name (lower case), Version (such as 1.0.0), Display name, Summary, Categories, Tags and an optional About this template.

4. Publish. Choose Publish template. You see "Template published" with the package name and version, and an Open the template button.

Review

Templates contain code, so a template from an independent publisher is unlisted until PGB reviews it. The result says "It is not listed publicly yet" while it waits. You can still open and use it yourself. See Review, yank, deprecate and report.

Good to know

• You must belong to the publisher you choose. See Become a publisher.
• Secrets never go in template settings. Names that look like secrets are refused.
• Published versions cannot be changed. Publish a new version for fixes.
• Make sure you own everything in the project before you share it.
