Macro Templates
This folder contains templates for creating new macros.
Option Profiles
This folder is used for storing profiles if you only specify a name (and not a complete path) when exporting options. (see the "Exporting and importing options" section in Setting options)
Stylesheets for Reports
This folder contains stylesheets for the XML reports generated by Passolo (see Report Setup).

Changing a folder

By default, the system folders are located in the data folder for all users of the computer. If you want to change this setting to make use of a different folder, click on the icon next to the respective folder. The Change system folder dialog is displayed.

The Standard folder for current user is a folder created by Windows containing the data for the current user. A different user logging in on the computer will not normally have access to this data.

The Standard folder for all users is a folder created by Windows containing data for all users of the computer.

You can also specify a different folder, for example on your local network so that all network users can use the same data. In this case please note, however, that Passolo does not support multi-user access to the files in the system folders. For example, if you save translations to a glossary these translations will not be immediately accessible to other network users.

If you change a system folder setting you can use the Move existing files to the new location option to copy the contents of the previous folder to the new location. This will not cause existing files to be overwritten.
