I’ve been using Scrivener for a few years, and use templates for my work with various formatting presets and compile selections. I have just bought a new Macbook, and instead of cloning (which I’ve done previously), have installed Scrivener (and everything else) afresh. I assumed that when I accessed existing Scrivener projects via Dropbox, my formatting presets etc would still be there - but they’re not, it’s gone back to the defaults. Is there a way of getting my own presets back with out re-doing them from scratch? I remember that as rather a fiddly process.
On your original system, the Scrivener -> Reveal Support Folder in Finder command will open Scrivener’s application support folder. That’s where you’ll find your templates, compile presets, and formatting presets.

(The article is about moving between Scrivener versions on the same machine, but the same provisions apply if moving between systems.)
