## How does RetroDECK Inject the Templates and Custom Icons?
If the user chooses to install the Steam Input Templates for RetroDECK:
- Templates are injected into: `~/.steam/steam/controller_base/templates/`
- Icons are injected into: `~/.steam/steam/tenfoot/resource/images/library/controller/binding_icons/`
## What Happens when you enable a Template from Steam?
When a template is selected from the Template Menu in Steam, it is copied from `~/.steam/steam/controller_base/templates/` to `~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Steam Controller Configs/<AppID>/config/retrodeck/` with the same name.
## What happens when I make changes to a template?
If the user or developer makes changes to the template via the Steam Input GUI, a new template .vdf file is created in `~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Steam Controller Configs/<AppID>/config/retrodeck/`.
The name is based on the device used.
**Example:**
If you are editing the RetroDECK Steam Deck template, a new template with the edits will be called `controller_neptune.vdf`.
