Where Does Mellel Store Documents and Settings?
Where Mellel keeps documents, styles and preferences on Mac for backup and full migration.
Last updated
Mellel splits Mac state two ways: documents wherever you saved them, and styles with preferences in Application Support. Long document features like outline and bibliography live in the files themselves.
Copy documents plus the support folder with Mellel closed for migration. Template names can shift between major versions, so confirm live paths first. Reach Library through Go to Folder in Finder.
Where Mellel stores this, by platform
~/Library/Application Support/Mellel
Documents wherever saved with styles in Application Support. Copy both with the app closed. Confirm template paths in preferences first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Mellel to a new Mac?
Keep documents where you saved them and copy the Application Support folder with Mellel closed. Manuscripts travel as files, styles and settings with the folder. Reinstalls need both halves.
Where are Mellel templates stored?
Open Mellel preferences and read the template paths. Templates save as files in support or Documents. The entries always show the live locations after changes.
