How to copy Illustrator actions from one computer to another?

[Document Geek]

I got a new computer and want to copy my custom actions to a new computer. How can I do this? There doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to do this. What am I missing?

Hello @Document Geek,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind trying the suggestions shared in this help article (https://adobe.ly/3X5WyI7) to save your Action Set on your computer and loading them on the other computer and letting us know if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

The "Save Actions" option is grayed out. I ended up just copying the entireprefernces folder from my old computer to my new one.

"Save actions" only works with action sets. You have to click on that folder icon to create a set, put your actions into it and then you can select that set and save it.
