Formatting not retained in backup?

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

I’ve had to reload and use a backup of my book. It appears that the formatting definitions are back to square one. I have Scrivener installed on a separate computer, though. Is there a way that I can copy whatever the formatting file is from there and put it in my laptop, or do I have to start all over with the formatting definitions?

thanks

Are you referring to Formatting Presets? If so, these are in no way bound to projects, they are settings stored on your computer—so if you’re using a different computer now, that would explain why they are factory default now. Here is a prior discussion on transferring formatting presets between computers.

Thanks! Perfect!
