Export toolbox/ModelBuilder

Hi everyone,

Wondering if it is possible to export a toolbox or set of models into a different Default toolbox from ArcPro. I mistakenly created a new project in the same folder as an old project and either changed or deleted the default toolbox and geodabase that is automatically created with a new project. I moved the old project to a new location and the models that I created in the new project completely disappeared. I wasn't able to find the folder path to the toolbox's source like I can do with feature classes (right click in the contents pane, properties, source) but was able to track it down in the old folder that I moved. I would like to know 2 things:

1. is it possible to find the folder path to the toolbox from catalog or somewhere else using ArcPro?

2. is it possible to import/export the models to a different toolbox?

You should find the path to the default toolbox in 'project' (top left) --> Options tab --> Project-Current Settings.

Thanks David! I see the folder path now. Do you know if it is possible for me to export the models to my new default gdb and delete them from the old one?

So add the Project folder as a folder connection (catalog pane --> add folder connection - navigate to the 'Projects' folder and add that or the individual Project')

Then you will be able to copy/paste (shift or ctrl to select multiple) into the new project toolbox within the Catalog pane.
