Saving

Preferences
Section titled “Preferences”The Preferences tab holds how the app looks on this computer. Quest dock puts the Quests dock Under the world or Beside the world; each side remembers its own size. Drag the bar between the World and the dock to resize it. Preferences are kept on this computer, not in the project. The ✕ in the corner closes Settings from either tab.
Where the app keeps its data
Section titled “Where the app keeps its data”Connection details, recent projects and recovery copies live in the app’s data folder:
