Photoshop Workflow
Use this guide to turn shortcut settings into a reference your team can actually use. It is written for practical creative workflows where the final asset needs to be easy to edit, export, document, and hand off.
When This Matters
How to Export Photoshop Shortcuts is most useful when the same task repeats across multiple files, teammates, platforms, or publishing slots. A small checklist prevents last-minute guessing and keeps the work tied to the right format, size, shortcut, color role, or prompt purpose.
Recommended Workflow
- Export or save the shortcut set from Photoshop before changing defaults.
- Generate a readable sheet for the command categories that changed.
- Include Mac and Windows equivalents when the team is mixed.
- Archive the date, app version, and purpose of the exported set.
Common Mistakes
- Keeping only the KYS file and no readable notes.
- Exporting every command when only five custom commands matter.
- Forgetting to include the menu path for custom training material.

Handoff Checklist
- Confirm the final file, shortcut sheet, palette, or prompt matches the intended use.
- Keep a source copy separate from exported delivery files.
- Name the output clearly enough for another person to understand without opening it.
- Link back to the tool or guide when sharing the workflow with a teammate.
