How do I import 'Keyword Sets' in LR CC?

Been looking for this answer for a while. Hope you can help! I switched from LR5 to CC. The switch erased my Keyword Sets (a feature I use massively and spent ages creating) and I would like to bring them back into LR CC. I've copied the old Keyword Sets folder into various Application Support/Adobe/ folders but they're not recognised in LR and I'm stuck with the standard Outdoor, Wedding, Portrait sets. Any ideas?

To find the parent folder in which LR stores all presets, do Preferences > Presets > Show Lightroom Presets Folder.  That will open Mac Finder on the parent folder.  Keyword sets are stored in the subfolder "Keyword Sets".

Double-check you are going to the correct folder. On Mac, the parent folder is /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom, unless you have the preferences option Preferences > Presets > Store Presets With This Catalog checked, in which case the parent folder is called "Lightroom Settings" and is in the catalog folder of the current catalog. In either case, the Show Lightroom Presets Folder button will take you to the parent folder.

"Keyword Sets"? Aren't these a Bridge feature? LR has a Keywording panel, and keywords can be parents of others, but it doesn't have anything called "Keyword Sets". So it's not clear what you mean by CC and then LRCC.

"Keyword Set" and Panels are the same. Just below the Keyword Suggestions panel in the main Keywording tab. I have over 20 panels/sets to quickly add keywords to new files.

Sorry, I've no idea why I didn't think of that. I make a lot of use of keyword sets!
