Creating a New Template

1. Click on the "+ Create" button located in the upper right corner of the page. This action opens a popup.
2. Select the credential for which you want to create a view, and optionally, you may add notes for this template.
3. Click the "Save" button. The page will then redirect you to the code editor page, where you can input the XAML template code for the credential. In this editor, you'll also find the option to use your language resources, which are available in a smaller view on the right sidebar. Here, you can conveniently copy and paste keys to utilize in your template, ensuring its compatibility with different languages.
4. Add the code and click "Save" in the top right corner of the page.

You'll be able to view the newly created template in the "In Development" section, where you can further manage and refine it.

Editing a Template (ADVANCED)

The template editor in this version is implemented as a text interface where you can type (or preferably paste from Visual Studio) a complete definition of a XAML <ContentView> element.

Once deployed to the application it will then parse the XAML and display the visual representation of the template.
