System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: NVIDIA Quadro P2000

Blender Version
Broken: 2.83.2
Worked: 2.83.2

I am using some free Sculpting bushes from the community. As suggested and with my previous experience with blender 2.79 it must work perfectly after appending it to Blender and then saving it as Default so that the brushes Run on every blender file like here . But with my Current 2.83 LTS version, the Brushes are appended perfectly to my Default file but when I open and saved file, thePreview Images of those Sculpting Brushes dint Appear.I can still use the brushes but they dont have any preview Images . In some of the files I cant even see those brushes in the Sculpting tab as if the brushes are appended to only default Blend file .

Open blender>Append IK / ORB brushes to the file >Save as default - Works perfect for me
Open previously made blend files>Go to Sculpting tab>Check if the brushes are still present or if present is there any preview Image available
I am using same blender version for all of the files and as you can see this is happening.

I guess the issue is that you need to "protect" brushes from unlinking by assigning a fake user? Just switch outliner to orphan data and protect brushes.

Thankyou for Responding, I tried but dint work, In some files I don't have brushes properly appended, in some files have everything with fake users but no preview Image available in sculpting mode. Since I have the Brushes already having Fake users to my default File, I am Able too use them by making my Work file from scratch. But still if I open any old file before the Date I Appended those brushes, it still shows me these issues. Thankyou.

This is caused by problem unrelated to brushes or appending - will merge this with actual cause.
