If you have ever built a complex transition logic scene where you created tons of very involved logic rules, you also know you want to use the same rules on another template that is very similar. You used to have to go and copy and paste the rules, line-by-line. Now, you can save the entire set of Transition Logic rules and recall them inside another template. This reduces the amount of work (and tears) needed to build an amazing graphics package.
