Exporting a Skin to Your Computer

If you intend to modify a skin package using the Skin Administration page (Using the Skin Administration Page), you should do so before performing manual editing.

As a system administrator, you can use the Skin Administration page to export a skin package to your computer for manual editing. The skin package is a zip file with a .skin file extension.

Tip: Another way to perform manual editing on a skin package is to import the skin into Designer. See Using Designer to Modify Skin Packages.
