Creating custom template but not all files show up from mod_flexicontent

I am new to Joomla and Flexicontent development.
Trying to follow the instructions how to create a custom template for a Universal Module (mod_flexicontent):
www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/6...-content-module.html
I override/copy the mod_flexicontent in my template, but there is no [news].xml file nor a [news).css-file. In fact there are no .css-files or .xml files at all.
mod_flexicontent-folder:

news-folder:

According to the instructions these (.xml and .css) files are the ones to be copied.
What am I doing wrong?

No override juste copy file in same template folder
mod_flexicontent
|_YOURTEMPLATENAME(folder)
|_YOURTEMPLATENAME(php)
|_YOURTEMPLATENAME(xml)

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hello

- after you copy them
1. you need to go to module manager
2. create or edit an existing FLEXIcontent universal module
3. got to first TAB select the template that you have overriden and then save

please note that it is better to copy only template that you need

e.g.
news.php
news [FOLDER]

-- NOTE copy news.xml has (currently) no effect , we wanted to use the copied file, but currently it is not supported

also always mentions FLEXIcontent version

Thanks for your replies. However, they are not the answers to my questions: there are no .xml nor .css -files in mod_flexicontent - why? Seems they should be there...?

I first open my template in the CMS and add the mod_flexicontent-folder under the TAB "Create overrides". See image below:


When I open the mod_flexicontent-folder there are NO .css-files or .xml-files as you can see in the image in my first post. There are only .php-files.
How do I obtain the .css- and .xml-files?

Got it!
However, the instructions are somewhat confusing...the url to the tmpl-folder is not /templates/JOOMLA_TEMPLATE_NAME/modules/mod_flexicontent, but
modules/mod_flexicontent in my Joomla-installation. I have no modules-folder in my [JOOMLA_TEMPLATE_NAME]-folder...
Thanks for your quick help! Appreciate it...:)
