Where Does Jamovi Store Settings?
Jamovi settings JSON with modules on every desktop OS.
Last updated
Jamovi keeps settings JSON plus modules in per-OS app data roots. Source pins each platform tree with lock files beside settings. Module folders branch beneath.
Linux dot folder breaks XDG assumptions. Keep settings plus modules matched per OS.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Jamovi?
Copy the settings file plus modules folder matching the running OS with the app closed. Locks travel beside settings. Restoring means putting the pair back.
XDG config on Linux?
Linux uses a home dot folder, not XDG config. Source pins per-OS roots exactly. Trust source over generic XDG guesses.
