become unavailable in the near future. See the information
Migrate settings from one major version to anotherto
migrate your presets/settings from an earlier version of InDesign CC to the latest one or from one computer to another.
Migrate settings from one major version to another
By default, when you install InDesign CC, Creative Cloud migrates your presets and preferences from earlier versions.
To choose not to migrate presets and preferences, deselect Advanced Options > Import Previous Version Settings And
Preferences in the confirmation dialog that appears after you click Update in the Creative Cloud desktop app.
If you choose not to migrate your settings when you install Photoshop CC, or if you're upgrading to InDesign CC from
an older version of InDesign, you can select Edit > Migrate previous local settings… to enable preset and preference
migration at any point in time.
For an introduction to preset migration, see the following video.
Note: The main preference file is not migrated when you run the Migrate Presets menu command.
The information below is relevant only for InDesign CC versions earlier than 2015.1.
Introduction
When you work on multiple computers, managing and syncing glyph sets, menu customizations, keyboard shortcuts,
custom workspaces, and PDF presets among the computers could be a chore.
The new Sync Settings feature enables individual users to sync their settings using Creative Cloud. If you use two
computers, for example, one at home and another at work, the Sync Settings feature makes it easy for you to keep those
settings synchronized on these two computers. Also, if you have replaced your old computer with a new one and have
reinstalled InDesign, you can get the application set up quickly with all your settings in place by just pressing a button.
Note: At any given time, you can activate InDesign on two computers only.
The syncing happens via your Adobe Creative Cloud account. All the settings are uploaded to Creative Cloud and then
are downloaded and applied on the other computer.
