Saving and Loading the ShipWorks Work Environment – ShipWorks

Background

Did you know that you can save the layout of your ShipWorks application, including any customization you may have done to your ribbons, panels, and context menus? You can. Then, restore your customized layout any time you need to restore your customized ShipWorks environment.

This can be helpful when:

You need to reinstall the ShipWorks software for any reason.
You add an additional ShipWorks workstation and wish for the new workstation to have the same environment settings.
You wish for all ShipWorks workstations to have the same ShipWorks layout.
