Affinityconfusesme Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I currently have the MSI versions of the apps installed. If I install the MSIX versions instead, will I lose my installed content?

GarryP Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 If in doubt, or just for peace of mind, you can export your Assets via the relevant functionality in the Assets Panel (use the ‘hamburger menu’ at the top-right of the panel) and then re-import if it becomes necessary to do so. (This also gives you a backup if something worse happens.) You can do similar things for other user-defined content in the other panels – e.g. Brushes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Hi tvzi20, Yes they both read the content from the same place, but as GarryP mentions, it's always wise to have a backup. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The content (Assets, etc.) is stored within %appdata% for the MSI version, and in %USERPROFILE% for the MSIX version, which should mean the user will need to copy the files from one directory to the other.
