No startup folder

I am using Office 365 on MacBook (both latest versions, I have checked updates). 

I want to install an add-in (specifically Endnote cite while you write), and during the installation, it is asked to specify the startup folder location. What is default is the following: [Hard Drive Name] : Library : Application Support : Microsoft : Office365 : User Content : Startup : Word

I can go until Microsoft folder, and here the only folder is "MAU2.0".

When I open Word -> preferences -> file locations, the startup folder is empty.

My question is where is the startup folder? Must I create it on my own?

I contacted Microsoft support of my country, but they told me that they cannot help and they gave me this website to ask this question.

PS: When I press "reset", nothing happens.

Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | For home | Windows

Yes. Create your own Startup Folder . It should not be the same folder as your **templates folder**. Global templates serve very different purposes from document templates.
