[Resolved] How to link content template as loop template in view?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to use an existing Content Template as the Loop Template in a View.

Solution: Click the "Remove" button if necessary to disassociate any previously associated Content Template, then place the cursor in the Loop Editor and click the Content Template button to choose an existing Content Template.

I cannot see an obvious way to link a content template to an existing view.

I'm copying the views from on site to another. The Export/Import plug-in kept exiting with an error message, so did it manually.

1. I recreated all the content templates.
2. I recreated all the views.
3. Some of the views use previously created content templates for the loop. I need to link those views to those content templates.

In the View editor, scroll down to the Content Template section and click the "Remove" button at the top of the editor panel to disassociate an old Content Template from the View. Then place your cursor in the Loop Editor, click the Content Template button, and you will have the opportunity to select from any existing Content Template and associate it with the current View. Here's a screenshot.

Thx Christian. The loop editor heads-up solved the problem.

As an FYI, there is no content section in the view editor when recreating as I listed above. See screen capture attached. As such, that step didn't apply in my case.
