When I update Photoshop, my bought actions go away. Someone said to "preserve preferences." I can't find that. Can anyone help? Thanks

don't update automatically.

then when making a major version update you'll be given the option to remove (or not) preferences.

When you purchased your actions you received .ATN files. They can be uploaded from wherever you put them using the panel menu (three lines) for the Actions panel.

You can also save your Actions sets (folders) from the Action panel menu.

Let us know if this works to restore your purchased Actions. I've moved your post to the more appropriate Photoshop forum for you.
