Hi, I’m relatively new to using Papyrus Author. I had begun to place an outline, other written material and photos into the ‘Free’ program that I downloaded from the internet site to my MacBook Pro. When I returned to work on the material recently I clicked on the ‘App’ and received the message, ‘Please update Papyrus Author. This version reached the end of its support cycle and expired’.
I’ve downloaded the latest version, however, before ‘replacing’ the old version I wanted to check that all the material that I’ve been working on will be available in the latest version. Could someone please advise me? Thanks. Randall
This happens when the Papyrus Author installation on your computer expires due to it not being updated. This happens a few months after we release a new version, and Papyrus Author normally tries prompting you to update automatically ahead of expiry.
We’re looking into making this more convenient in the future.
Your writing projects are separate from the Papyrus Author installation, and reinstalling will not affect your files.
The documents are saved on your computer’s hard drive, and the default saving location is in your user folder. If you’re searching for documents, you can identify Papyrus Author files with their .pap extensions.
