How to export workspace settings

How do I export Workspace settings in Mac InDesign 2017.1 so I can make them the same on laptop/desktop?

Correct answer MatejKriz

In 2024/04: Go to File> User Settings > Export User Settings.

"Export and Import User Settings" a new InDesign feature (already in version 19.4) that was introduced a few days ago.

You can now export or import these user settings: Preferences, Workspaces, Menu Sets, Keyboard Shortcuts, Glyph Sets

Hi,

You need to migrate your preferences.

1. Go to: ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe InDesign

2. Navigate to Version X.0/en_us/Workspaces and you'll find your workspace files

Copy and place the workspace files in the exact same location on the new Macintosh and launch InDesign -- you should see them in the menu.

Let us know if the issue was resolved.
