Your workspace is automatically upgraded the first time you launch the new IDE. This process is entirely automated and cannot
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.
