Overview

Warning

Template Packages packages only need to be installed once.

When you install a package on an instance of PhixFlow, the files and data it contains overwrites any existing files with the same name. This means you could lose any changes or customisation you have made.

A package is a way to share resources between PhixFlow applications; see About Template Packages. Template packages include a palette and default design configuration for your application. PhixFlow provides several template packages, which have the name Theme. We recommend you install all these template packages to provide different look-and-feel designs for your applications.

Installing Template Packages

  1. Download the desired Template Packagea template package, also known as a Theme theme, from the PhixFlow Learning Centre.
  2. From the

    3. Theme 2.1, password: Theme2
  6. Click ok and PhixFlow imports the package.
