Well, that would apply only if I wanted to write an addon for LibreOffice.

But this is not a task meant only for advanced users/programers. Even ordinary
users would need to copy user settings (for back up and cloning on other PCs).

Keeping that in mind, an easy-to-reach control should be provided. 
Also, the docs should guide the users by providing a step-by-step method. 

Both these mechanisms are missing.

****
Here are the specifics:

The LibreOffice program has no menu options to deal with user profiles.

I searched for all relevant keywords in the help docs/guides. 
(User profile, user setting, export, import)

The help does not cover "User profile". I tried the Content, Find and Index
tabs. (I have installed the latest help pack).

I also searched in the GS3400-GettingStartedLibO.odt
Chapters 2 and 14 do not mention how to copy the settings to another PC.
Or back up (save) the settings for later use.

Just to make sure, I also searched the following guides:

WG3400-WriterGuideLO.odt
IG3500-ImpressGuideLO.odt

They too do not mention the subject at all.

*****
On the whole, it appears that this aspect is not at all addressed in the whole
system.

Have I missed something?
