# Sync Across Versions

Easily synchronize your Blender setup across different versions. Select the target versions and choose what to sync—extensions, presets, recent files, and more—for a consistent experience across all installs.

**Warning**: Syncing *Preferences* and *Startup* from a **newer Blender version to an older one** may cause UI glitches or unexpected behavior.
