--- title: v0.2 — Migrating & Rebuilding Master Template Panels description: I walked through migrating master templates in the 5.0 folder, updating versions from 5.0 to 5.0.1, and using a new format that shows the master template, exports, and today’s date. Then I unlocked the production layer, copied and released guides into the search layer, and extracted the correct panels, removing unwanted appearances like strokes. I moved the transferred panels into the collar symbol, and planned batch workflow so I could repeat it across four sizes efficiently. No viewer action was requested. --- [Skip to content](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/1d-master-training-v0.2-migrating-rebuilding-master-template-panel#main-content) English Show submenu for translations [![Signature Athletics Logo](https://help.signaturelocker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Signature%20Athletics%20Logo.png?width=200&height=64&name=Signature%20Athletics%20Logo.png)](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support?hsLang=en) - [SALES](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/sales) - [ACCOUNT MANAGER](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/account-manager) - [TICKET MANAGEMENT](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/ticket-management) - [DESIGN](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/design-team) Show submenu for DESIGN - [TEAM](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/design-team#main-content) - [CREATIVE](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/design-creative#main-content) - [ECOM](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/ecom) - [OPS](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/ops) - [MARKETING](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/marketing) Open main navigation Close main navigation - [SALES](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/sales) - [ACCOUNT MANAGER](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/account-manager) - [TICKET MANAGEMENT](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/ticket-management) - [DESIGN](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/design-team) Show submenu for DESIGN - [TEAM](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/design-team#main-content) - [CREATIVE](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/design-creative#main-content) - [ECOM](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/ecom) - [OPS](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/ops) - [MARKETING](https://help.signaturelocker.com/migration/support/marketing) - English Show submenu for translations - [Signature Locker](https://signaturelocker.com/) [Signature Locker](https://signaturelocker.com/) Hello.

[Building 1Ds](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/design-masters?hsLang=en#building-1ds) # v0.2 — Migrating & Rebuilding Master Template Panels ## Building Masters | 1Ds | Phase 1 --- *Last Updated: May 5, 2026* ---   #### **ARTBOARD SETUP & PANEL MIGRATION** --- ### OVERVIEW I walked through migrating master templates in the 5.0 folder, updating versions from 5.0 to 5.0.1, and using a new format that shows the master template, exports, and today’s date. Then I unlocked the production layer, copied and released guides into the search layer, and extracted the correct panels, removing unwanted appearances like strokes. I moved the transferred panels into the collar symbol, and planned batch workflow so I could repeat it across four sizes efficiently. No viewer action was requested. --- ### STEP-by-STep guide **1. Confirm the versioning format before saving** [0:24](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=24) ![generated-image-at-00:00:24](https://loom.com/i/2ae10834572f4cc683c7ef22368dcab4?workflows_screenshot=true) - The file is being prepared for migration inside the **5.0** folder. - The naming convention is being updated so the file version reflects: - the **master template family**, - the **build/version number**, - and the **date**. - The speaker settles on a format that keeps the master template identifier visible, while still showing the current build version and date. - Key idea: use the filename to quickly tell **which master template was used** and **what stage the file is in**. --- **2. Save the file as a beta/build version** [5:04](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=304) ![generated-image-at-00:05:04](https://loom.com/i/444099def54444bbbdad5f280c6f690b?workflows_screenshot=true) - The current work is not the final released version yet. - The speaker explains that: - **5.0** is the final released version, - **5.0.1** is the behind-the-scenes beta/build version, - once released, the extra decimal digit is removed. - This lets the team keep working in small increments without confusing the live version. - The file is saved using the beta-style naming convention before continuing. --- **3. Open the live master and locate the production layers** [6:07](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=367) ![generated-image-at-00:06:07](https://loom.com/i/bfb31812ecf246d4a97d111681de28dd?workflows_screenshot=true) - Move into the live master file for the large/extra-large size. - In the Layers panel: - unlock the **production layer**, - navigate to the correct size grouping. - The goal is to extract the needed artwork from the old master and rebuild it in the new structure. --- **4. Release all guides so the artwork becomes editable paths** [6:35](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=395) ![generated-image-at-00:06:35](https://loom.com/i/6cdfaa542c164aebbe015e11e1e58eda?workflows_screenshot=true) - Find all objects that are still set as **guides**. - Select them and release the guides using either: - right-click → **Release Guides**, - or **View \> Guides \> Release Guides**, - shortcut mentioned: **Command+Shift+5**. - Once released, the guide objects become editable paths instead of locked guide elements. - This is necessary before moving or rebuilding the artwork. --- **5. Pull the needed artwork out of the old structure** [7:35](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=455) ![generated-image-at-00:07:35](https://loom.com/i/2c792c13eacd4b8593c6cc132c5cbcc2?workflows_screenshot=true) - Bring the released paths and clipping masks out of their current groups. - The speaker repeatedly moves items upward/outward so they are easier to work with. - Some elements are grouped together temporarily for organization. - The goal is to isolate the pieces needed for the new build, not preserve the old structure exactly. --- **6. Identify which panels are needed and skip the ones that are not** [9:11](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=551) ![generated-image-at-00:09:11](https://loom.com/i/c0e0c2e2d6b343cd85b9795f162ecc76?workflows_screenshot=true) - The file contains multiple panels, but not all are needed. - The speaker notes the relevant panels are typically: - front, - back, - right, - collar. - The left sleeve/panel can be skipped in this workflow because it is not needed for the transfer being demonstrated. - This reduces unnecessary work and keeps the migration focused. --- **7. Replace the base panel artwork inside each symbol** [10:07](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=607) ![generated-image-at-00:10:07](https://loom.com/i/39edf61f6c054260aca10552c9db9581?workflows_screenshot=true) - Start with the **base** of each panel/symbol. - Double-click into the base layer for the panel you are rebuilding. - Delete the old base panel artwork. - Paste in the new artwork from the old master. - Ungroup if needed, then clear any unwanted appearance/stroke settings. - Set the artwork position to **0,0** so it aligns correctly. --- **8. Repeat the same replacement process for each panel** [11:53](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=713) ![generated-image-at-00:11:53](https://loom.com/i/6a5db0e2e18641f5bb611799ee8a0870?workflows_screenshot=true) - The speaker prefers to start with the **collar** first, then work around the rest. - For each panel: - click into the correct base/symbol, - delete the old build, - paste the new panel, - set it to **0,0**, - confirm it updates correctly. - The right sleeve is handled by clicking into the sleeve base, not the sleeve artwork itself. - Once the panel updates, the color/appearance change confirms the transfer worked. --- **9. Work in batches instead of one item at a time** [13:13](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=793) ![generated-image-at-00:13:13](https://loom.com/i/ceb65e123548407fb0c768c0145c6591?workflows_screenshot=true) - The speaker recommends batching repetitive tasks: - release all guides at once, - group everything at once, - transfer all four panels for a size at once. - This is much faster than repeating the same steps for every single style individually. - The workflow is especially useful because older masters require more cleanup than newer ones. --- **10. Continue extracting guides and cleaning up paths** [16:15](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=975) ![generated-image-at-00:16:15](https://loom.com/i/bb012162bc7c47a99a277b7f4db9dc1b?workflows_screenshot=true) - If guide release fails in one place, use the menu command again to avoid wasting time. - Continue selecting guide objects and releasing them until the artwork is fully converted to editable paths. - The speaker emphasizes being careful not to misclick, since that can force you to repeat the process. - Once the guides are gone, the remaining artwork can be cleaned up and grouped properly. --- **11. Remove appearance settings and organize the extracted pieces** [22:04](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=1324) ![generated-image-at-00:22:04](https://loom.com/i/294444cbfcdb4b82b873253791ad510c?workflows_screenshot=true) - Clear any unwanted appearance settings, especially strokes. - Bring clipping masks and related paths up into a cleaner structure. - Group related pieces together so the panel is easier to manage. - The goal is to isolate the cut/sew artwork from the old master and prepare it for the new template structure. --- **12. Extract the correct sleeve and panel pieces** [25:16](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=1516) ![generated-image-at-00:25:16](https://loom.com/i/e981f6af492b4a9d80339e78c1996a49?workflows_screenshot=true) - Keep the **right sleeve** and skip the **left sleeve** when it is not needed. - Remove duplicate or unnecessary exterior/interior pieces. - The speaker explains that the important output is the cut-and-sew artwork, not every old master element. - Once the correct pieces are isolated, they should all appear consistently formatted. --- **13. Transfer the artwork into the collar symbol as the staging point** [27:56](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=1676) ![generated-image-at-00:27:56](https://loom.com/i/278e7d27370b48c1bb62906313dd60af?workflows_screenshot=true) - Use the collar as the staging area for the transferred panels. - Click into the collar base, delete the old content, and paste in the new pieces. - Because the artwork has already been cleaned up, there is less need to ungroup or remove appearance settings again. - This creates a clean intermediate state before distributing the panels back out to their final locations. --- **14. Save progress and move to the next build stage** [29:41](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=1781) ![generated-image-at-00:29:41](https://loom.com/i/e93128abf68e4fa0ac2786e9ba608f81?workflows_screenshot=true) - The speaker saves the work as **5.1** and then prepares to move to the next stage. - The next step is to increment the file again, using a new save-as version to show progression. - The workflow is intentionally broken into small steps so nothing gets too far ahead or becomes hard to reverse. - Current stage focus: get the panels into the collar first, then continue outward. --- **15. Repeat the same migration process for the remaining sizes and layers** [30:57](https://loom.com/share/59897d55843144c7a959317e722eba85?t=1857) ![generated-image-at-00:30:57](https://loom.com/i/abc103875dcd42868c1f4e211a45d797?workflows_screenshot=true) - After the collar staging step, the same process will be repeated for the remaining sizes. - The speaker plans to continue by moving the artwork into: - the **sew layer**, - then the **cut layer**, - and any other required layers. - The video ends by noting that the rest of the work is repetitive and will follow the same pattern. - The next tutorial will continue from this point and show the next layer transition. ---   | [TABLE OF CONTENTS](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/1ds-master-training?hsLang=en) | [NEXT VIDEO](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/v0.2-migrating-rebuilding-master-template-panel-0?hsLang=en) | | --- | --- |   - [Sales](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Tools & Resources](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#tools-resources) - [SOP's](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#sops) - [Product Training](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#product-training) - [HubSpot Tickets](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#hubspot-tickets) - [Account Manager](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General Knowledge](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#general-knowledge) - [HubSpot (Client Facing)](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#hubspot-client-facing) - [HubSpot (Internal)](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#hubspot-internal) - [Shopify](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#shopify) - [ZiFlow](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#ziflow) - [SKU Sheets](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#sku-sheets) - [Off Menu Items](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#off-menu-items) - [Bulk Orders](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#bulk-orders) - [Resources](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#resources) - [Ticket Management](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Resources](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#resources) - [HubSpot Ticket](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#hubspot-ticket) - [HubSpot Tasks](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#hubspot-tasks) - [Ziflow](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#ziflow) - [Design | Team](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/design-team?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Design Rules by Sport](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/design-team?hsLang=en#design-rules-by-sport) - [Adobe CC Libraries](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/design-team?hsLang=en#adobe-cc-libraries) - [0.
