After you configure the options in the Content Defaults, Documents, Player, Preview, and Target Applications categories, you can share these preferences with other authors. This is particularly useful in workgroup environments where multiple authors are working on the same content that requires consistent output regardless of who authored the content. In this scenario, you can create a "master" set of Content Default options, export the settings, distribute the options file to the other authors, and then have all authors import the master options into their Developer installation. 

To export content defaults: 

1. Configure the options that you want to export. Only the settings defined for the Content Defaults, Documents, Player, Preview, and Target Applications categories are exported.
    
2. On the Tools menu, point to Export and choose Content Default Options.
    
3. Browse to where you want to store the exported options file.
    
4. Type a name for the options file and click Save.
    
   Note: You should distribute the options file (.ops) to the authors that need to import the standard settings.

To import content defaults:

1. On the Tools menu, point to Import and choose Content Default Options.
    
2. Browse to where the exported options file is stored. To import content defaults, you need to know the location of the exported content defaults file (.ops).
    
3. Select the file and click Open.
