Submitting Templates to the Bento Template Exchange
You can submit your own Bento templates to the Bento Template Exchange website, either directly from within Bento or through your web browser. You cannot include records with the template.
To learn more about the Bento Template Exchange, including how to submit templates directly to the website and how to download other designers’ templates, choose Help > Bento Template Exchange.

In the template exchange dialog, enter the required information, and follow the onscreen instructions. Continue following the onscreen instructions in each dialog that appears.

Bento compresses the template and places the file (which is the library name with the .zip filename extension) on the desktop of your Mac. If a file with the same name already exists, Bento appends a number to the filename. This file is removed from the desktop after the template has been successfully submitted to the Bento Template Exchange. A template file (compressed) can be up to 20 MB in size.

Don’t click Close until you see a confirmation that your template was uploaded; doing so will stop the uploading process.
