I hope someone can maybe help me with my little problem. I've created quite a lot of custom monsters in the Monster Builder on my old PC. Now that I got a new laptop, I want to transfer those from the PC, but don't know how or if it is possible at all. I tried to copy the Adventure Tools folder and overwrite the one on the laptop, but nothing changed. Then searched my PC for any other places where the data of the custom made monsters could be saved, but found nothing.
Have any of you an idea if such a transfer is possible at the moment? Or do I have to wait for an update of the tools to be able to do that?

Thanks a lot in advance!

AppData is a hidden folder
The three files are:
Monster.data
Monster.package
Template.data
