| DropBox may keep backup versions, and Keyboard Maestro keeps backup revisions (in the [[Menus#File_Revert_Macros|Revert Macros command]] in the [[Menus#File|File menu]]), so you should be able to recover from any conflicts that happen. DropBox may notice a conflict if you edit your macros on both Macs simultaneously. As a general rule this should not be an issue, though you may lose a change if you make changes on both Macs quickly (and note that quitting the Keyboard Maestro editor is considered a change). | DropBox may keep backup versions, and Keyboard Maestro keeps backup revisions (in the [[Menus#File_Revert_Macros|Revert Macros command]] in the [[Menus#File|File menu]]), so you should be able to recover from any conflicts that happen.

| - | Since your two Macs will likely not be identical, you may have to adjust your macros to work properly on both Macs. Using the various [[Text Tokens]] and [[Calculations|functions]] can help. For example the CODE{{{%MacUUID%}}} is a unique ID for each Mac, and can be used to test which Mac the macro is running on. Other tokens, like the CODE{{{%SCREEN%}}} token can be used to ensure your macro behaves appropriately regardless of the details of the Mac. | + | Since your two Macs will likely not be identical, you may have to adjust your macros to work properly on both Macs.
