Where Does Origin Store Projects and Settings?
Origin keeps OPJ projects where you save them, with settings and themes in Documents\OriginLab.
Last updated
Origin projects are single OPJ or OPJU files you place yourself, so there is no project vault to hunt. Settings, themes and custom toolbars live in an OriginLab folder under Documents.
That split keeps backups obvious. Version the project files like documents and copy the settings folder when migrating machines. Old version settings folders linger after upgrades and can be removed.
Where OriginLab Origin stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\OriginLab
Versioned subfolders with Origin.ini settings, themes and toolbars. Projects stay wherever saved as OPJ files. Copy both for a full move.
