Where Does SoftMaker Office Store Settings?
SoftMaker Office stores documents wherever you save them and settings per user profile. Back up the profile folder.
Last updated
SoftMaker Office and FreeOffice behave like most desktop suites. Documents live wherever you save them. Settings, templates, and custom dictionaries live in a per user profile folder that follows OS convention.
The profile is what you want for backup or repair. Copy it whole with the apps closed to migrate. Rename it to force a clean rebuild when an app misbehaves. Exact folder names vary by suite year, so check the vendor folder first if the path below looks different. Documents themselves are untouched by all of this.
Where SoftMaker Office stores this, by platform
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SoftMaker
Per user settings, templates, and dictionaries on Windows. Folder name follows the suite edition and year, so check the vendor folder if this does not match.
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/SoftMaker
Per user settings on Mac. Back up this folder before major upgrades.
/home/<username>/.config/SoftMaker
Per user settings on Linux. Portable USB installs keep settings on the stick instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move my SoftMaker settings?
Copy the whole SoftMaker profile folder to the same location on the new machine with the apps closed. Templates, dictionaries, and toolbars travel with it.
TextMaker acts broken. How do I reset it?
Rename the profile folder and restart the app. It rebuilds defaults, which clears most template and toolbar corruption. Your documents are elsewhere and stay safe.
