Including an Experience Builder template in your Lightning Bolt Solution is optional. Use any template as a base to build your custom site with standard pages and components, or create custom pages, layouts, and components of your own. After you finish customizing the template, export it or one of its pages from Settings | Developer in Experience Builder.

To include flows, first create a flow category, and add the active flows that you want to export.
