Adding An Item To Export

Adding an expression library item into the export library is a fairly simple and straight forward process. First make sure an item is selected from your expression library and then press the plus icon located in the middle of the menu. This will add all relevant nodes to your export library and the saved expression.

Your library and your export library are two seperate directories. This is very important as they will look the same in the treeview page.

Locking An Expression

When you add an expression from your library into your export library you will have an additional option to lock the expression file. If you was to lock the file it means that whoever downloaded your exported file and imported your expression into their library would not be able to export that file to share with others. If you don't want to lock the file then simply select no.
