UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION (V1.0, V1.1, OR V1.2)
⚠ Do NOT install v1.3 over an older installation.
Because v1.3 introduces a renamed server executable ( knowledgedesk-server.exe ) and new data files, installing over an old folder will leave orphaned files and may cause conflicts.
Option 1: (Recommended): Install to a new folder. Use a new, empty folder (e.g., C:\KnowledgeDesk-V1-3 ).
You can delete the old folder after verifying the new version works.
Option 2: Keep the C:\KnowledgeDesk folder. If you intend to stick with the default C:\KnowledgeDesk folder, you must uninstall your current older version of KnowledgeDesk first (via Windows Settings → Apps, or the Start Menu uninstaller) before running the v1.3 installer.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SELECT AN EXISTING FOLDER?
The installer will detect that the folder already exists and show a warning: "The folder ... already exists. Installing over an existing installation
may cause issues..."
Click "Yes": Go back and choose a new, empty folder.
Click "No": Proceed to install into the existing folder (Only safe if you are reinstalling v1.3 over v1.3).
✅ Your data is safe!
Whether you install to a new folder or overwrite the old one, you will not lose your API keys, Favorites, or Local
LLM settings. These are saved securely in your browser's Local Storage for
the installation folder http://127.0.0.1:39820 , not inside the installation folder.
When you launch the new v1.3 shortcut, all your previous settings will still be there.
