Backing up your Preferences backs up your custom brushes, colors, and settings so that they can be restored if needed. This can be helpful when setting up Sketchbook on a new device, or in cases when you experience a device loss or a corrupted Preferences file that cannot be recovered.

- On Mac, Preferences can be accessed from the menu bar Sketchbook Pro > Preferences.
