Players, player colors, text labels, presenters, and playlists are also stored in the project-specific *.ppta file for each presentation you create. As a result, they'll always be available for existing projects even if the saved versions are deleted from your computer or if your projects are transferred to another computer.
I understand that. I have recently got a new computer. I use the same presenters repeatedly on new programs and am trying to find a way to export the presenter library from my old computer to import in my new so I don't have to retype all the information. I have found how to export the players that I have created, but I have yet to figure out how to pull out the presenters library.
June would like to do something which should be very simple - import her folder of presenters into another machine, but it is not simple. We can import and export players but we cannot import and export presenters. Yes, you can share a package but that does not import the presenter data, it allows you to process the package with a presenter on a new machine, but when you go to another presenter lesson, the presenter is not available in the presenters archive, so this is not the answer unless I am missing something. I think that it is time for a Windows 10 update to this problem. I have located where the presenters folder is but I cannot just copy it to a new machine as then the Presenter 13 app on the new machine no longer works but yields an error message. So, please how do I import my presenter folder/presenters into an installation on a new machine?
I'm not sure what error you are receiving when doing this. Would you be able to reach out to our support team here so that we can understand the error and assist?
Hi Doug! Did you ever reach out to our support team? I didn't see a case listed for you related to this topic. As mentioned above, the presenters will be included with the Articulate Package when shared.
I found the folder containing the Presenters, copied it and placed it in the dir of the new computer and was able to call up a presenter on the new computer. It lives in Windows > Users > (user name) > AppData > Roaming > Articulate > Articulate.Presenter > Presenters

Hi June!
If you share the Articulate Package, all of the information is included.

Hi Doug!
You are utilizing the file as detailed here?

Hi Leslie,
I will start a ticket and send them the file.
Thanks,

Thanks Doug! I'd be happy to follow along as well if you want to pop in and share your case number.
I am still trying to find the correct folder for Presenters. The link above https://www.articulate.com/support/presenter-13/location-of-saved-players-player-colors-text-labels-presenters-and-playlists does not find the Presenter folder for Windows 10 and Presenter 13. I am requesting an update to help me locate the very elusive Presenters folder so that I can export my Presenters to another machine. Thanks!

This is for Windows 10 and Presenter 13.
Ah, so the 'roaming' part is what was different. Thanks for sharing Doug!
