Myslot

Copy your whole UI setup to any character — action bars, macros and keybinds — with one text string.

Setting up a new alt, moving to a new account, or rebuilding after a UI reset? Myslot exports your setup as a short, copy‑paste friendly text. Paste it on any character — even a different class — and click Import.

Browse and share profiles at <https://myslot.net>.

Features

Action bars — every bar, including the main action bar pages, stance bars and the Skyriding bar
Macros — both account‑wide and character‑specific
Key bindings
Click Cast Bindings (Retail)
Cooldown Manager layouts (Retail)
Talents (Retail) — see the profile's talent loadout string, get warned when it differs from yours, and load it into the talent window with one click
Cross‑class & cross‑account — spells, items, mounts and pets you don't have are skipped with a clear message; unowned mounts can fall back to a random mount
Saved profiles — keep up to 100 exports in game, sort by name / date / class and filter to your class
Automatic backup — your current setup is saved before every import, so you can always roll back
Choose what to import or clear — pick exactly which bars, macros and bindings to apply
Fast & safe — asynchronous import with a progress bar, blocked during combat, CRC‑checked text
Minimap button and /myslot slash command

Supported game versions

Retail (The War Within / Midnight), Classic Era & Anniversary, Burning Crusade, Wrath, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, Titan and WoW Forever. Options that a game version doesn't support are hidden automatically.

Usage

Export

Type /myslot (or click the minimap button) to open Myslot
Click Export
Copy the text and save it anywhere — a text file, Discord, email, or myslot.net

Import

Type /myslot to open Myslot
Paste the exported text into the text box (or pick a saved profile)
Choose what to import, then click Import

Importing a profile exported with talents other than the ones you are using asks for confirmation first — a profile's action bars rarely fit another build.

Talents (Retail)

Myslot doesn't import talents with the rest of a profile, but helps you switch to them:

The profile's talent loadout string is shown in the Talents box under the text box — click it to select the string and copy it with Ctrl+C, e.g. for the talent window's Import.
When the profile's talents differ from yours, click Apply talents: they are saved as the talent loadout Myslot (replacing the previous one) and the talent window opens with it selected. Review it there and click Apply Changes to switch to it.
A profile saved before a talent tree change (a patch or hotfix) shows Talents out of date; it can still be loaded, but check it carefully since talents may have moved.
The profile must be for your current specialization, and talents can't be changed in combat.

Talent loadout strings only exist since Dragonflight, so none of this is shown on Classic versions.

Slash commands

Command	Description
`/myslot`	Toggle the Myslot window
`/myslot load <ProfileName>`	Import a saved profile by name — put it in a macro to swap setups with one click
`/myslot clear action`	Clear every action bar slot
`/myslot clear macro`	Delete all macros
`/myslot clear binding`	Clear all key bindings (Blizzard defaults included)
`/myslot clear talents`	Delete the `Myslot` talent loadouts made by Apply talents, in every specialization (Retail; your talents in use are kept)
`/myslot trim [N]`	Keep only the newest `N` saved profiles (default 100) and reload the UI

Build your own Myslot

Clone the source code into Interface\AddOns\Myslot

$ git clone https://github.com/tg123/myslot.git Myslot

Run the tests (Lua 5.1 + luabitop)

$ lua5.1 ci/run.lua

Run the tests in game — a git checkout loads the test suite (it is stripped from CurseForge/Wago packages), then type:

/myslottest            -- run all tests
/myslottest &lt;filter&gt;   -- run only tests whose name matches &lt;filter&gt;

The results are shown in a pop-up you can copy with Ctrl+A / Ctrl+C. Tests cannot run in combat.

Changing Protobuf

Myslot use a modified version of lua-pb to serialize/deserialize the data. You may want to change the data structure sometimes if you want add some new things to export.

Please check lua-pb about how to generate protobuf stub files.

The command /myslot load ProfileName no longer works. It just outputs "<Myslot>Profile to load found : Rogue", but there is no import. Can you please check?

Hi, when checking the ignore macro checkbox, is it supposed to also ignore the macros you placed on your action bars? I save my binds/macros/bars separately since I prefer to update my global binds/macro profiles separate of each other, so I ran into this issue where I have to place my macros back onto the bar after importing the action bar layout, even if the macros have the exact same name.

Also, the link to the github on this curseforge page has a type at the end with >

In reply to psydfexrein:

short answer: yes, by design

myslot will have no idea which macro the actionbar slot is pointing to if macro are ignored in exported string.

myslot is designed to transfer settings between players. thus, myslot must make sure 100% cloned: the macro the slot point to will be exactly the same including the macro body

Any chance for a version that works with The War Within Beta? Could really use this to copy everything from Live. :)

Are the chat tab presets able to be added to this export? The combat log (thankfully) keeps its config account wide, but I have to remake my chat tabs, PMs, Loot, /say, etc on every new char.

In reply to oishii1992:

The channel filters, I have one for PMs, Loot, /say, trade (and a junk tab so they aren't auto added into the general tab). The layout I just use a global edit mode config for.

For instance, this is my Loot tab filter, with everything else in the other sections unchecked as well. These are the settings I'd want to also have backed up. https://imgur.com/a/Vb4n2Cm

Edit, Also, the background transparency is annoying to have to change for each chat tab. I usually have it at about 75% alpha to make it readable above bright textures.
