After the enablement toggle, the New+ Templates location setting is likely the most interesting one. By default, the template location is in your local app data folder, specifically at `%localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\NewPlus\Templates`. However, these templates will not roam with you across devices. If you want a common set of templates across devices, a popular option is to change the template location to a folder that is synced with a cloud drive, such as OneDrive. This way, you can access your templates from any device.
