Download Card Templates
In the Templates tab, select the template to download, and click the Download button. The template will be downloaded to your default download folder in a zip format.

In the Themes tab, select the theme that the edits was made for, and click the Edit button. Upload the card template zip file to replace the selected theme.
Workaround for calling Player Properties
Calling Player Properties fails in the latest update of Appspace App 1.9.1, however the workaround to this, would be to add the following property, “version” = “1.1”, in the schema.json file.
Click the Appspace menu, and select System > Cards > Templates tab.
Download the desired Card template to edit.
Extract the Card template (template.zip), and locate the schema.json file.
Edit the schema.json file with a text editor by adding the following property above the “settings” property.
"version" : "1.1",
Save the schema.json file, and compress the template files.
Proceed to upload the edited template back into Cards.
