Update to the latest Beta
Elements should prompt you while it’s running to let you know there’s an update, if it doesn’t you can select the “Check for Updates…” menu option from the “Elements” app menu.
Please note: Sometimes it takes a while for the update to propagate. if you don’t see the update in-app, you can download the latest build of Elements from the confirmation email you received as that link will ALWAYS give you the latest version.
Give Feedback on the Beta
If you are using the beta, please post all feedback in the Elements Beta Feedback Forum. You can use the Elements > Send Feedback… menu item to automatically pre-fill the build number into a new topic.

Hello Dan. A question about the beta versioning: I purchased a beta license. I note that your Sep 24 post references Beta 12, yet my Beta 10 appears to be the latest version and I can’t update it to v12. Am I missing something here?
Version 10 refers to it being the 10th version of RapidWeaver. RapidWeaver Classic is version 9.x and RapidWeaver Elements was going to be version 10.x.
However, as development has progressed Elements has become more of it’s own thing and no longer represents the 10th version of RapidWeaver.
We need to update that to say version 1.0
All you need to care about right now is the build number. As you’ll see the numbers in the brackets of the about box (22909) matches the numbers of beta 12.
The app is still named ‘RapidWeaver Elements’ and I also noticed there’s a number app id references to ‘rapidweaver’ in the various ~/Library folders.
~/Library/Applications Scripts/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaverelements
~/Library/Applications Scripts/P97H7FTHWN.com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver
~/Library/Applications Scripts/P97H7FTHWN.com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8
~/Library/Applications Scripts/P97H7FTHWN.com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaverelements
etc.
Is the app called Elements (I thought it was) or RapidWeaver Elements?
While this is largely cosmetic, it might cause confusion down the road if left ambiguous.
FYI I don’t have RapidWeaver Classic installed on my system.
It’s not easy to erase/change some of these things as they are tightly built into the core of the product — Although, we’re still working on it so you can expect to see further changes as we go…
Officially the app is called “RapidWeaver Elements”. In our marketing efforts we’ll mostly refer to it as “Elements” - users already seem to be doing that for the most part. “Elements” is also my preferred name for the product.
Having the official name as “RapidWeaver Elements” also keeps us away from any copyright issues as “Elements” is very generic and already used by many other companies.
