I've installed Daz 2025 and, as I expected, the smart content of items from the Daz store is there. However, I've also been adding smart content categories and editing the meta data for 3rd part products so that they will appear in my Daz 4.23 smart content. So, where is this data stored in Daz 4.23 please, so I can just copy the folder(s) to Daz 2025 and hopefully have my smart content there again?

    I may be a litttle wrong so someone more knowledgeable please chip in:

    In your Daz 4.23, on the Smart Content Tab, click on the top right menu button, and Content DB Maintenance, Export User Data, then on 2025 same process but select Import User Data and find your 4.23 save file (UserData) default saves in your content directory.

    Ahah! Export works fine but the import process is a little different, (duh Daz). You right click on the Samrt Content tab and then select Content DB Maitainance.... it opens a dialogue box and you check the box that says Re-Import Metadata. Dunno why it couldn't just have an Import User Metadata option on the tab, but 4.23 and 2025 are both the same. Maybe something for the Devs to think about. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

    The database path should not chnage by default, though you can use a different one if you choose. Content Directory settings, however, will not automatically come over.

    There are several options in that dialogue, perhaps consolidated theer to avoid clutter (and accidentally clicking on reset database)

    2025 uses the very same cms database with the same configuration of cluster folder... so you should have the very same Smart Content in both DS 4.23 and DS 2025. All the custom categories should be able to be found ~~
