When I click on "Import Shape" it gives me an empty directory. How do I get all the custom shapes? I need to append them. I have Windows 11.

Don't use Import.

Instead, open the Shapes panel from the Window menu (not options bar). Click the Shapes panel menu and scroll down. Click Legacy Shapes and More. Open the Disclosure Triangle and select each folder (or either). They will now appear in the option bar for you to use.

In the same panel menu, you can reload the new default shapes if you want them.

Photoshop defaults to its default location for custom shapes. That's normal. If you do not have any shapes saved in that location, feel free to navigate to any other directory where you have saved downloaded or previously created shapes, just as you do when opening files. When you find the file, double-click on it, and the shapes will be imported.

I can't find the extension for those files anywhere on my PC. Where can I
re-upload the shapes files?
Thank you.

Do you mean custom shapes you downloaded, or the old “legacy” shapes that were in earlier versions?

You mean to append to custom shape panel? You need shape files with extension .CHS

Thank you for the reply...
Yes, I want to append the SHAPE files. There are none - the directory is
empty.
(I also did a search on *.chs files). How do I get access to them?
