The holy grail that everything is born from. Well created... but still! this is it the big button that grabs everything you want and specifiy into a neat little file!

The expression library item creation process is not complex, I've tried to make it as simple as possible with plenty of options but also allowing you to get everything done quickly and easily. There are 6 parts to creating an expression library item and i've listed a few quick links below. Alternatively you can navigate on the left hand side.
