[edit] Upgrading within 3.0 alpha versions

If you currently have a 3.0 alpha version, please follow the directions at Keeping your MonkeyGTD up to date

[edit] Upgrading from 2.1 alpha versions

This is pretty straight forward. Basically just grab a fresh 3.0 empty file and import the content from your existing 2.1 file using Backstage/Import. Note that the file you import to has to be local. Try to import just your content and not the MPTW and MonkeyGTD plugins and supporting tiddlers. Save and reload. Note that ticklers will import but they won't preserve their tickle dates. You will need to add their dates manually. After importing Projects they need to be marked as Active. You can see all your projects by opening the tag Project from under More/TW/More/Tags. Then one by one open each Project and click the Active button as required.

[edit] Note for Tiddlyspot users

The basic method is the same as the above. However it's recommended to create a new MonkeyGTD site then download it to get your fresh empty. This ensures that you have the newer version of UploadPlugin. Once you've completed the import as described above, you can optionally change the site id to your old site id by editing TspotSetupPlugin. After this the next time you upload it will upload to your old site id.

[edit] Upgrading from 1.0 versions

It's not as simple. If you do manage to import your 1.0 projects and actions into an empty 3.0 you will need to rename the "Task" tiddler to "Action" and say yes when it asks to rename the tag in N tiddlers. I suspect that there will be other snags along the way, so do consider the 'start fresh' option:

[edit] Starting fresh and manually migrating your content

You could alternatively start with a fresh empty 3.0 version and add your projects and actions manually. Using Quick Add it shouldn't take too long. You could think of it as an extra thorough review...
