I am developing a Pro AddIn using Pro version 3.1. How do I import a .aptx template file into an existing map?

The aptx file is usually loaded into the Pro as a projec, use the layout template for a map layout. You can use code to use the 'current active map' as the primary may shown in the newly created layout template. Recall templates can have 'tags' for text items, this means you can search for them an replace the text as well (e.g., in this example we have map layout template with Title1, subtitle1, Title2, subtitle2, etc. tags that get populated form a form) prior to executing the LoadLayoutTemplate sub.
