How to Create and Use a Template File?

Creating a Template File

During certain use cases, StoreSyncer provides you with a template file if you wish to use it. The process of creating a template file is essentially the same for every use case.

There are two use cases that require a template file (.zip).

Use Case 1 : Create a Collection From ZIP File

Step 1 - Go to Collections Page or Any One of the Store Assets Pages

Click (+) icon and a popup with two options will appear.

Select "Create from file (example.zip)" option. Another popup will appear, asking if you have a template file.

"Yes" means you have your template file ready to go. This guide will assume that do not have a template file.

Click "No".

Step 2 - Arrange Your Template File

Next popup is where you build your template file using StoreSyncer. Here you will choose what you want to add to your collection.

Customize your template file here.

• You can remove or add languages for your textual metadata. For each textual data item, an empty TXT file with a language code name will be created.

• You can also remove or add language folders with language codes for your visual metadata. Additionally, you can select or deselect the device sizes for screenshots and previews. Based on your selections, language folders and empty folders with device size names will be created for screenshots and previews.

Once you have made your choices, click on “Download” and StoreSyncer will provide you with a ZIP file based on your preferences.

Step 3 - Extract Your Template File and Start to Fill

Open your TXT files and write your descriptions for each language. Same goes for keywords, and what's new.

Open your screenshot folder and place your screenshots to their proper device size folders for languages you want.

When you are done. You need to compress your folders again, to a ZIP file.

Step 4 - Upload Your Filled Template File

After you click "Download", another popup will appear for you to upload your filled template file.

Choose your filled template file by clicking the folder image or drag an drop your filled template file to upload it.

When upload is finished follow on screen messages. When creation process is finished a summary popup will appear, indication any invalid items or errors in your file.

Your new collection is created from metadata given by your template file.
