How to Enable Permissions to Export

In order to successfully export a template, it's important to ensure that the necessary permission is turned on. You can easily find this permission by going to Settings, then Teams, and finally selecting Edit Template.

If the permission options are not visible on your account, it will be necessary to contact an administrator from your company to request for them to be enabled.
