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.

1. From Setup, enter Lightning Bolt Solutions in the Quick Find box, and select **Lightning Bolt Solutions**.
2. On the Details and Branding page, enter information about your solution. For example, enter your company and solution names, and list the solution’s key features. Click **Next**.
3. On the Solution Highlights page, add any combination of Experience Builder templates, flow categories, and custom apps. Click **Next**.
4. Review the Summary page, and click **Finish**.
    
    The new Lightning Bolt Solutions is now ready for distribution.
