Point Photoshop to my Template folder

Question

Hi gurus,I created a Photoshop template file for instagram. PS 2025 on a Mac Studio Sonomo 14.6How do I point PS to the folder where my template files are saved so I see it when I select File > New and click the saved tab?I don't have an option in File Handling preferences for template folders or file save locationsCopilot says: Save your template as a Photoshop Template (.psdt) file in a specific folder.Open Photoshop and go to Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling (Mac).In the File Handling preferences, look for an option related to Template Folders or File Save Location.If you don't see a specific option, try adding the folder where you saved your template manually by navigating to the folder and dragging it into the Template Folders list.Restart Photoshop to ensure the changes take effect.

@Tara Keane – I'd forget about asking Copilot at this point in time :]

AFAIK, you can't.

You can save your own blank presets to the "Saved" tab, but not templates. Templates are downloaded and licensed, I don't believe that you can add your own locally created templates outside of the cloud.

You can manually open your own locally created template PSDT file, which creates a new untitled document from the template content... Or drag the PSDT file into your library panel:

You can submit an "idea" feature request to add the ability to manage local template resources here:
