How do I change the template directory
If you plan to move your templates to a different directory, proceed as follows:
For organizations using the Aligned Elements Windows Client
1. Copy the existing templates to the new directory.
2. Make sure all client computers have access to this directory, using the same path.
3. Open a Project where the current template set is used. Make sure that no-one else is currently logged in to the project!
4. Go to Main Menu -> Projects -> Project Settings -> Paths and use the browse button to select the new Template directory.
5. Confirm and close the application. Verify that other users can open the project using the new template path without any problems.
6. It is good practice to get rid of the unused template location in order to reduce confusion.
For organizations using the Aligned Elements Web Client
