Because of [this difficulty](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/outdated-add-ons-bug-sur/36470/2) (anyone, please?) I am beginning to think that I need to re-install _RW 8_, having first deleted all my addons - or, better, saved them somewhere else.

In which case, does anyone know how to see at a glance **which addons each of my projects uses** , please?

Surely I don’t have to open each project, see the spurious error messages, and make a manual list… so that I can re-install only those I need?

TIA!

Good question. I would like to know an answer for this as well.

I’m kind of heading towards having to completely uninstall everything (I’ve been using _RW_ since version 3!), launching each project in turn and only re-installing those (third party) add-ons which it complains about.

It is January after all; clean sweep.

Happy New Year!

I’ve now successfully ([uninstalled](https://www.osxbytes.com), ‘purged’ and then) re-installed _RW 8.7_; and moved my add-ons one by one into the ~/Library/Group Containers folder as ‘Managed by RapidWeaver’.

The fact that I no longer get [such messages as these](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/outdated-add-ons-bug-sur/36470) does appear to suggest that there is some way in which _RW_ retains a list of (non-existent) addons… now looking forward to getting back to work 🙂

Thanks everyone!
