Can I Move My Presets?

[imagefirst]

Have new Windows 11 computer, reinstalled Affinity Publisher, is there a way to copy and move my presets from the old computer to the new?

The term "Presets" is used in many different contexts within the Affinity applications. Which one(s) do you mean? Many of the Studio panels support export/import actions, but some don't.

In any case, if you copy the "user" directory you'll get most (all?) of your settings in one operation. This FAQ will tell you where to find that directory, which depends on both the OS  platform (Mac, Windows) and the Store that you purchased the application from:

As Walt said

I am going to make a stab in the dark and guess you mean Presets as in the New File Dialog window's My Presets tab. Am I correct?

Yes, when I hit new, a dialog box opens that says new document, the My Presets tab. I have created numerous preset and want to not have to do it again. 

Thanks for your patients!

Moving the complete "user" directory will get them, and many other things you may want (Assets, Object Styles, Text Styles, Adjustment presets, ...).

Perfect, done and thank you!
