Action Bar Storage

A World of Warcraft addon (Patch 12.0 / Midnight) that lets you save action bar layouts as named profiles and restore them on any character.

Features

• Save individual bars or all bars into named profiles
• Hover & click bar selection — an overlay highlights whichever action bar your mouse is over; click to select it
• Cross-character — profiles are stored account-wide and available on every character
• Bar remapping — profiles remember which bar each layout came from, and apply back to the correct bar by default
• Profile management — view slot-by-slot contents, rename, or delete profiles from the dialog

Installation

1. Download or clone this repository
2. Copy the ActionBarStorage folder into your WoW addons directory:

   World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\ActionBarStorage\
   

3. Launch WoW and enable the addon in the AddOns menu on the character select screen

Usage

Command	Action
/abs	Open / close the Action Bar Storage window
/actionbarstorage	Same as above

Saving a profile

1. Open the window with /abs
2. Click New Profile
3. Enter a profile name and click Next →
4. The overlay mode activates — hover over any action bar to highlight it, then click to select it (green checkmark = selected). Click All to select every visible bar at once.
5. Click Confirm to save

Applying a profile

1. Select a profile from the list on the left
2. Click Apply Profile
3. The saved bar layouts are written back to the same bar positions they were captured from

Note: Profiles can only be applied outside of combat. Attempting to apply while in combat will show an error message.

Limitations

• Class spells are character-specific — applying a profile from a Paladin onto a Mage will leave class ability slots empty. Same-class alts work perfectly.
• Macros are matched by name across characters, so a macro must exist on the destination character to be placed.
• Items require the item to be in your bags on the destination character.
