Hi, Basically Ive create a base menu system that can be easily interchangable however I was wondering if there is a way to export my menu folder that contains all the relevant assets into a package that I can then Import into other projects. Trying to avoid migrating for this instance. (Trying to achieve a personal marketplace asset sorta thing)
Thanks.

Yes. Create a new Plugin with Content enabled. The YourPlugin.uplugin looks like:

{
	"FileVersion": 3,
	"Version": 0,
	"VersionName": "4.22",
	"FriendlyName": "yourPlugin",
	"Description": "Adds Cool stuff to UE4",
	"Category": "Name it",
	"CreatedBy": "Yourname",
	"CreatedByURL": "www.foo.com",
	"DocsURL": "",
	"MarketplaceURL": "",
	"SupportURL": "",
	"EngineVersion": "4.22.0",
	"CanContainContent": true,
}

After enabling and restarting editor, in your Content Browser you can check “show plugin content” and just move your files into it. Then in the plugins section cou can Export it or just zip up the Plugins\YourPluginName folder and share it.
