  1. Navigate to My Patterns

    • Click on Customise in the left menu, then select Patterns.
    • In the editor, click on Patterns, then go to My Patterns to see your custom patterns.

  2. Export the Pattern

    • Find the pattern you want to export.
    • Click the three dots (â‹®) under the pattern’s name.
    • Select Export as JSON.
    • The pattern will be downloaded to your computer as a JSON file.

    A compressed file (usually a .zip) containing all selected patterns will be saved to your computer.
