Installing brushes on Windows Store version of PS Elements 15

I have installed PS Elements 15 from the Windows Store, but I can't figure out how to install brush sets.

I can load a single brush set from the Tool Options or Preset Manager but they only load temporarily and I can only load one at a time. If I had installed the normal desktop version of Elements I gather I can put the .abr files in the presets folder under Program Files, but as this is the Windows Store version the folder doesn't exist. Am I missing something obvious or is there no way to permanently install multiple brush sets with the Windows Store version of Elements?

    OK, looks like I've managed to track the folder down to:

    AppData\Local\Packages\AdobeSystemsIncorporated.AdobePhotoshopElements15_ynb6jyjzte8ga\LocalCache\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\15.0\Presets

    I've tried putting a couple of .abr files in the "Brushes" folder and sure enough they show up when I start Elements.

    Not the most intuitive location for non-techy users. Hopefully Adobe can address this in an update, even if its just to put a shortcut to the folder somewhere discoverable.
