This page is for application designers who want to share PhixFlow items and components across multiple applications.
todo-fiona See flow: 5.13.2 Marking a Package as a Template
Overview
If you are designing multiple applications, you are likely to have a set of items that you want to use in all your applications. Items can include:
...
We supply the Theme 1 and Theme 2 palettes as packages. To import Theme 1 and Theme 2 to your instances, see Installing Template Packages. You can use the theme in any application; see About Template Packages.
Moving Packages Between Instances
You can export packages and then import them to another instance of PhixFlow. If you export an application, you must also export the packages it uses.
...
Note |
---|
If you have moved an item from an application to a package, remember to export/import the application and package together. The item is deleted from the application and added to the package. If you do not export/import the package, the item is deleted from the application and is no longer available. This also deletes references, so adding the package at a later date will not reinstate the reference between the application and the item. To reinstate the deleted object and references to it, export/import the application and the package together. |
