"Export" not available!

Find your presets with Right-click on a Develop preset to "Show in Explorer/Finder", then use the OS to Copy to another location.

Depending on your Lightroom version, DEVELOP Presets may be in diverse locations:

Develop Presets are now .XMP files since the update in v7.3 (earlier versions used .LRTEMPLATE presets)

First- Please post a screen-clip of the top 10 lines from your system info- LR MENU: HELP > SYSTEM INFO...

We need to know the exact version number of Lightroom.

Also a screen-clip that shows the Preset Panel open, and the Basic Panel open, in the Develop module.

And where have they "DIsappeared" from?

Did you see them before? where? when?

Why are you trying to "reimport" presets?
