I am currently in process of moving over to the Sierra platform. I have a friend that has the Sierra workspace set up the way I set it up. Would it be possible for the current user of Sierra to send me a file of the workspace that I can download and use without going through the whole process of setting up multiple charts and studies? Will the file be recognized by my Sierra platform and provide me with the same workspace set up. Is this an option? Thank you in advance for your help. Please advise.

Have your friend send you his chartbook, a file with a .cht extension.
If the chartbook has a spreadsheet study, you'll also need a spreadsheet file, with a .scss extension.

Both files are in the Sierra Chart \Data folder, and you'll need to put the files there.
To locate and note that folder, go to Global Settings >> General Settings >> Data Files Folder

In addition to the Chartbook, you may also want the Sierra4.config file. This has all the global settings, including colors, in it.

Step #5 at the following link gives you the information on what files contain what information. You may want to look through these to see if there is anything additional you may want:
