Whenever I need to work on a new laptop or server, or whenever I change versions of SQL Server Management Studio, I kick myself for not remembering to export my settings, so I can import them again.
I spend quite a bit of effort getting SSMS configured the way I want, so it only makes sense to save the settings. Saving them isn't perfect but it's far better than not having done it.
From the Tools menu, choose Import and Export Settings:
As an example, let's export the settings. I'll choose Next:
Notice that it's not an all or nothing export. I can choose details of which settings or groups of settings to export.
In this case, I wanted all of them, so I just need to pick a name and a location:
And next time I change to a different machine or new version, I can just import them and pat myself on the back for remembering.
You forgot to also include the import part of it. I'm getting error messages with codes when importing the settings and I don't know if it is because of the location path.
Sorry, not sure I follow. Both when exporting and importing, you can specify a path.
