Hello,

Can you send us in PM your blend scene ?

Thank you,

Hello Yasmine,

yes I can provide you with the blend file, I would need to remove all objects tho.
I have just tested this and the problem is still present with an empty file, just the collections and presets remaining.
Is that alright?

It would be perfect, can you also send a screenshot of the Blender console when you reproduce the bug ?

Thank you,

Yasmine

You mean a screenshot of all collections that should be there and a “after” screenshot that shows only the remaining ones after updating the exporter?

I mean the console of Blender to check if there is some script errors before and after the presets are lost:

Thank you for the explanation, I will reproduce the bug and then take a screenshot.

I will now upload the blend file and send it to the private content group.
