How can you use a previous design in a new design,

I mean, if I made a PCB with a sensor, but later on in another project I want to use this sensor (a couple times :-) )

how do I do that? how do I export the sensor so I can use it as a component/part?

You can open an existing design, make necessary changes in schematic and update existing board from updated schematic.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to save whole board (with components, nets and other) as a library item.
