Hello
I had to update my operating system today. Unfortunately I can no longer open any of my Scrivener files. If I update to the new Scrivener Will I be able to access those files?
Assuming you were running the latest version of Scrivener 2, then Scrivener 3 will make a copy of your project and then update it. It shouldn’t be an issue.
Since you weren’t running v3 before, you’ll want to look into how compile has changed; it’s a big change, but ultimately a lot more flexible. Most other things should be familiar, if a bit re-arranged.
Thank you. I am hoping I am okay. 
I guess I might have to buy the bullet and upgrade~!
Yes, you need Scrivener 3 if you are going to install Catalina. Apple has ended support for 16-bit applications like Scrivener 2.
I’d recommend having a look at our upgrade guide for Scrivener 2 users, which you can find here:
