Is it possible to locate « my appearance » material lib?

it looks quite robust, but I can’t locate it to edit it in the Material Browser.

i want/need to add some materials in bulk, with categories but can’t find how it is located.

 

many thanks

I hope I am understanding your question.  The Appearance Library is created under the Materials Browser.  If you need to capture some personal Appearances from a model, you open the model, open the Appearance Dialog, right click on the desired appearance and add it to Appearance by selecting Copy to My Appearances.  From there you can add them to a personal library.

Yes sorry for the typo.

In the Appearance panel, you can find the default Fusion Mat Lib, the My Appearance Lib, and the Favorites one.
In the Material Browser, you can find the first ( Fusion default lib) and the last one (Favorites) but not the « my Appearance »
So my question is where I can locate it on my computer… in order to edit it (add materials, edit categories…,) save it in order to share it with other people…

It would appear I made a error in my statement about taking "My Appearances" and adding them to the Appearances tab in the Material Browser.  This article defines where and how the My Appearances are saved and used.  You can manually add Appearances, using the Material Browser, that become part of a custom library.
