A Play Editor drawing or shape file is a core building block for an individual play file, which is then stored in a folder within your Play Libraries in the PQD Playbook. They can be installed through an Installation Package or individually added within the Libraries button. ### Why is this process important? If a Play Editor file is ever corrupted, outdated, or needs to be replaced, you’ll need to know how to remove the existing file and download a fresh copy from the installation packages. Doing this helps prevent errors and ensures you aren’t building drawings with incorrect or inconsistent Play Editor files. ### How do you complete this process? 1\. Navigate to either your **Play Editor Drawings** or **Shapes** folder in the **File Explorer** and locate the file(s) you need to delete. The folder path to these should be **Documents - PQDPlaybook - PlayEditorLibraries.** **![](https://help.proquickdraw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-22-2026-11-01-26-6246-PM.png?width=1978&height=837&name=image-png-Jan-22-2026-11-01-26-6246-PM.png)** 2\. Delete the file(s) in this folder and open up **Blank Presentation** in PowerPoint.  ![](https://help.proquickdraw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-22-2026-11-09-18-7972-PM.png?width=410&height=315&name=image-png-Jan-22-2026-11-09-18-7972-PM.png) 3\.
