Import/Export quick access toolbar

Michele — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 13:21:30 GMT

Is there a way to export the quick access toolbar. One thing I don't like about ArcPro is that it requires a lot of clicks to do things. Less efficient. The fact that toolbars no long exist is annoying because I recognize icons instead of clicking through menus to find what I need. Thus, I added a bunch of tools/commands to the quick access toolbar, but it took a long time to create and I don't want to lose it. I did this at my job where I have no control over updates or if they reinstall my software for some reason and would like to save it off somewhere so I can quickly reload it if it gets wiped out somehow. Is there any way to do this?

Yes, there is! See this section here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/customize-the-ribbon.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_D41907B2242044388D519B5296240B74

You can export and import toolbar settings, which will include the Quick Access bar.

Thanks Josh. I saw the thread you referenced, but wasn't sure if it included the quick access bar. I'll have to go on another workstation and try to import what I just saved just to make sure it worked correctly because if I wipe it out I'll cry.

Update - I just tried it on another workstation and it works!! Thank you!!
