    After you export the template, it appears in the Experience Creation wizard in your org. You can then use it as a base for building new Experience Builder sites.

Note
  • If you create an Experience Builder site in your org that’s based on an imported or exported template, you can’t delete the template.
  • If you include object pages in a custom template, you can’t delete the object from your org unless you remove the template’s object pages.
  • If you add subpages to an Experience Builder site in your org and export the template, the new site doesn’t have the same page hierarchy as the original. All pages in the exported site are found at the top level.
