Exporting/Importing Settings

You can export information such as the settings in the [Preferences] dialog box, Desk and Viewer toolbar settings, and a link folder's link destination, to a file or Working Folder.
The DocuWorks environment can be configured by importing the exported data.
Note
Exporting from and importing to Working Folder can be done when the link with Working Folder has been established in [Cloud Service Linkage Settings].
However, if the user who is actually logged in Working Folder does not match the user set in [Cloud Service Linkage Settings], importing and exporting cannot be done.
This section describes the following.
