Use Command Template controls
The easiest way to import, export, and delete a Command Template is to use the controls from the Command Templates collection page. From the Studio welcome page, click the Search button to open the Collection dialog.
From this view, you can Import, Export, or Delete command templates using the controls in the toolbar at the top of the canvas.
The Export and Delete icons are grayed out (disabled) until the radio button (bottom left circle) of a template card is checked.

To Export or Delete a template, select it by checking the circle in the lower left corner of the template card, then click the appropriate icon. Alternatively, hover over the vertical three dot icon in the lower right corner of a template card to open a menu of options for that template: Edit, Clone, Delete, or Export.
You can open any template by clicking the name at the top of the card. When a template is open, a new template can be Imported using the icon in the top toolbar on the left. Additional options — Edit details, Clone, Revert changes, Export, or Delete — are available from the three dot menu icon in the top right corner.
