As no major changes are introduced in Toolbox version 10.1, upgrading from version 10.0 to 10.1 should work by opening the existing project file within Toolbox 10.1 and checking if any messges are issued.

For a seamless transition, we recommend planning with enough spare time to convert your Toolbox project.

First of all, you need to have your Toolbox working at the latest Toolbox v10.0.x. If this condition is fulfilled, open your .dp10 project file with Toolbox v10.1.x.

You may receive some WARNING messages in the Messages Section. Those messages inform you if your Toolbox project is using no longer supported hardware, if other problems occurred or if adjustments were done during conversion of the project. A double click on the message leads you to the hardware module or part of the configuration that is subject of the message.
