Your workspace is automatically upgraded the first time you launch the new IDE. This process is
entirely automated and can't be prevented. If you need to revert to an older version of the IDE,
be sure to read Reverting to an older version of the IDE.
Note the following:
- By default, the IDE offers to put your workspace in
home_directory/ide-4.7-workspace on Linux,
and C:\ide-4.7-workspace on Windows, whereas in 6.4.1 it
was ide-4.6-workspace, in 6.4.0 it was
ide-4.5-workspace, and earlier the default was
workspace, so now there's less chance of accidentally migrating
your old workspace.
- When you import existing projects, you now have the option of making a copy
of it in your workspace. This is preferable because it leaves the original untouched
as a backup. See Importing projects in the Project and Wizard Properties Reference chapter.
