Export/retain important scripts and plot images. Save engineering documents and make external copies.<br /> <br /> === Read compatibility notes ===<br /> See [[OpenSite/Release notes]] and [[OpenSite/File formats]]. Format 4 readers accept formats 1–3; older builds do not read format 4. Saving an old file with a new writer is not a reversible “Save as old format” conversion.<br /> <br /> === Keep installations separate ===<br /> Use a new package folder and matching runtimes/extensions. Do not overwrite a working development package file by file or mix Debug/Release DLLs.<br /> <br /> === Open a copy and check ===<br /> Open a backup copy, inspect object counts/status, material units, expressions and unresolved references. Do not enable Python expressions until you trust their source. Re-run your own validation for work that matters.<br /> <br /> === Save to a new destination ===<br /> Retain the old file/build until the new workflow is accepted. If a problem occurs, return to the untouched old file with its compatible old build, rather than editing JSON to reduce a format number.<br /> |result=Both the old working data and a separately tested new-build copy remain available.<br /> |limitations=There is no verified automatic updater or public installer migration workflow in this snapshot.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Continue learning ==<br /> [[OpenSite/User manual|User manual]] · [[OpenSite/Tutorials|Tutorial pathways]] · [[OpenSite/Support|Get help]]<br /> <br /> &lt;div class=&quot;os-page-nav&quot;&gt;{{Docnav|OpenSite/Guides/Troubleshoot a workflow|OpenSite/Support|OpenSite/User manual|User manual}}&lt;/div&gt;<br /> [[Category:OpenSite documentation]]</div>
