Confusion about export as a template

Question

So created a app using Web App Builder.

I want to use this same template for the other buildings on campus and instead of building it from scratch each time, i want to try an skip some steps and create a configurable app so i thought i would try using the "Export as Template' function. Anyways i am following the directions here, Export as template and i am confused, when i get to the end of the directions, i a just end up with an app that i cant do anything with, i can only view it.

To actually use it as configurable template, do i have to down load into Web App Builder Developer edition?

Thanks,

Hi Randall!

Have you replaced the configurable apps default group with one of your organization groups in Settings > Map > Configurable apps?

Once you share your template to the configurable apps group, it should then appear as an option when you create a new app from Content > Create > Configurable apps:

Thanks
