Applying Master Libraries to Projects

Overview

Master libraries can be used in any project owned by your account. Once a template is used on a project, a specific version is created just for that project. Any future changes made in the master will not be reflected in project libraries.

Any project level libraries made from master templates will be separate from the master, with its own change history which makes it possible to introduce project specific changes. Any edits done to the project template are not reflected back to the master library template.

Applying Libraries to Projects

Master libraries can be applied to projects in two ways, from the Property Set Libraries Page or from inside the Library Editor.

Using the Projects Dialog

The Projects dialog lists all the projects owned by your account. If you need to search for a project click the Search button, note that the search will only return results based on the current region that is selected and from the projects that have been loaded in the dialog.

If a master template has been applied to a project, the project will be disabled inside the dialog. You will not be able to remove a template from a project using the dialog.
