# Use Visual Studio Code to Retrieve the Template Files

Pull the template metadata from the scratch org to your local workspace using the Command Palette **Pull Source from Default Scratch Org**. Use VS Code to view and edit the template files.

The command stores the template files on your system under the folder `main\default\waveTemplates\MyNewTemplate`

Use VS Code to edit and customize the template. You must have the Salesforce Analytics Extension Pack installed. To get content assist and validation when you edit a template json file, make sure the VS Code language mode is set to **ADX Template Json**.

For information on setting up and using the VS Code for template development, see [Prerequisites](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/analytics/bi-dev-guide-wave-templates/concept/bi-templatesdev-prerequisites.md).
