Morning, please can someone help. I am trying to move from RW5 to RW 6 (at last). I have updated everything, but when I open RW6 and try and open my project, it’s no highlighted as selectable. I am sure I am doing something really silly, but can someone help me as its driving me potty!! Thank i…

@carysjackson Can you publish here a screenshot of your files not highlighted as selectable, please?

Thanks guys. I have tried dragging and dropping, and am about to try save as option. Here are some screen shots

Cary, It seems like only one of your screenshots made it here (as far as i can see). Can you post the others, including “the screenshot of your files not highlighted as selectable”, as our very brilliant friend @Oscar suggested? thanks :slight_smile:

The screenshot shows that you are right with RapidWeaver 5.4.1. With this version you have to save. Then you should open the new RW5 file with RW 6.3.8.
