: How do I import my custom InDesign workspace to a new computer? I have Adobe Creative Cloud and am switching to a newer Mac. CC says it's saving my preferences (workspace and shortcuts included)

@Heady304

For anyone looking for the location of custom workspaces in Windows, I found it at:


C:Users [your username] AppDataRoamingAdobeInDesignVersion 7.5en_GBWorkspaces


for InDesign 5.5. The preset workspaces are saved in:


C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe InDesign CS5.5PresetsInDesign Workspacesen_GB

This is basically tech support and off-topic (I voted to close as such) but....


In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder
In the text field insert this: ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign
Click OK
This will open the preference folder for InDesign
Now simply 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.

I'd say the same thing would work for other Adobe apps, but [surprise] Adobe isn't consistent with pref folder naming. So you'll need to just open ~/Library/Preferences and look for the prefs/settings folders for other apps.
