# Default Directories for Page and Overlay Files

If you use page and overlay files regularly in your work, you may want to create default directories for them. If you do not use them in any other application, you can create subdirectories for them in your default form directory. If you are exporting them to use in other applications as well, you may want to store them in a more central location.

There are no separate folder defaults for XTemplate pages and overlays. Whatever folder location you specify for UFF files will be the default for all exported pages, whether they are UFF, xcomp, or xml pages. Whatever folder you associate with CDD files will be the default for all exported overlays, whether they are CDD, xcomp, or xml files.
