Importing Modules from Previous Versions

If you have user-created content for an older version of SwordSearcher, you can import it for use in SwordSearcher 5.

When importing, SwordSearcher 5 simply reads your old file, then creates a new user module in the SwordSearcher 5 user module storage folder. Your old file is not altered or erased, and can still be used by the older version of SwordSearcher. The new file, however, will not be backwards-compatible with previous versions.

Importing SwordSearcher 4.x User Modules

SwordSearcher 4 user Books and Commentaries can be imported as SwordSearcher 5 modules. Select Import SwordSearcher 4.x User Module from the User menu. Choose your user module file when prompted to begin importing. If you installed SwordSearcher 4 in the default installation location, SwordSearcher 5 should be able to locate your user folder. Otherwise, you will need to manually locate your SwordSearcher 4\User folder to choose your user module.

Repeat this process for each user module you need to import.

Importing SwordSearcher 3.x Note Sets

SwordSearcher 3 user Note Sets can be imported as SwordSearcher 5 user commentary modules. Select Import SwordSearcher 3.x Note Set from the User menu. Choose your user module file when prompted to begin importing. If you installed SwordSearcher 3 in the default installation location, SwordSearcher 5 should be able to locate it. Otherwise, you will need to manually locate your SwordSearcher 3 folder.

Repeat this process for each note set you need to import.
