hi,
i need to backup my actions preset from my old windows computer to my new one.
i checked the documentation about ACTION:
> **[Actions – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/)**
>
> Documentation on Quick Actions and Action Groups that covers replace text, case conversion, tag to tag conversion, duplicate field handling, batch cover import/export, and more. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
.. but there is no tip to help me to backup my presets and how to restore them on the new computer.
is there a feature or procedure to perform such backup&restore setting ?
Best regards
Mike

As the documentation says:
**File -\> Save configuration** creates a ZIP archive with all your Actions (and settings and more).
Mp3tag does not have a File -\> Restore function.
You will need to manually copy the saved configuration ZIP archive to your new computer and manually extract it into the folder where you installed Mp3tag.
If you only want to restore your Actions, extract only the contents of the `\data\actions` folder from your ZIP archive.
Mp3tag helps you to locate the correct target folder with
**File -\> Open configuration folder**
