Upgrading Considerations

How to Access Previous Versions of a Component

When you upgrade to a new version of a plug-in, the Common Tasks page for the plug-in is updated to provide links to components that are installed with the new plug-in version. This feature enables you to easily view components that contain the most current features and improvements. Components that rely on old functionality are not linked to from the Common Tasks page.

If you have trouble finding a component that you previously installed, the component was likely created from the previous version of the plug-in. Follow these steps to view or work with a previous version of the component:

Steps

1. Click the appropriate component procedure on the Common Tasks page.

   The Component Detail page appears.

2. On the Component Details page, click Version History.

   A list of components and versions appears.

3. Click the appropriate link.

   • To perform a task with a component, click the version number or the Details link that applies to the component that you want to use.

   • To view where a component is installed, click Where Installed.
