Messed Up My Default Settings File - How to recover

I somehow messed up my "Settings File" in Publish. Is there any way to get back to the "Default Settings" without reinstalling FrameMaker 2019?

    Hi Melissa, use the Edit Settings button to the right of where your STS is listed and you can choose the New option. That should get you where you want to be.

    I wanted to add that I recommend saving a copy of the Settings file in a separate folder for such cases. Then it is easy to restore if something happens

    @MelissaP53  - I moved you into your own thread - your question didn't have anything to do with the one you posted in.
    I think there might be a "factory" version of the .sts file hiding in your c:\program files\ installation folder.
