Question

Redoing my preferences over and over again!

I've been using Illustrator Beta on my desktop. 

Works great. 

BUT about once a week, I open it up and ALL the preferences have been reset. 

 

So I have to redo all my preferences over and over again. So frustrating. 

 

And I didn't even manually update the version. I assume it automatically updated and then reset my preferences. 

 

Anyone know a fix in Beta that retains preferences even when you update?

 

Thanks!

It's beta software, after all.

What you can do: set up the preferences and everything. Edit > My settings export.

And when you need to reset them: import.

Fantastic comment. In all these years, I've never used the Export Preferences, glad you clued me in. That should be the fix I need. Thanks!
