Share ArcGIS Pro Application Settings with other users

Hello,

I would like to reuse ArcGIS Pro application settings so that can expedite installing ArcGIS Pro across several machines within my organization. Is it possible to save and share settings such as:

*Default favorite folders, and services

*Specify a default toolbox and Geodatabase

*Set default units

*Set a default basemap

*etc

It could save myself a fair amount of time if I do not need to manually configure these settings each time I deploy ArcGIS Pro.

Thanks!

I would like to save the ArcGIS Pro applications so that I can use the same settings while

On your computer is a file called Favorites.json

C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Favorites.json

In the same folder there should be some connection files.

If you use locators they will be up a directory or two

Pro creates a unique toolbox for each project.

If you have a custom tool box I believe you should be able to add it to favorites, which should save in the .json file when you exit
