I upgraded to version 12 without doing an export or backup of my previous sites. None of the sites are visible in version 12 when I start the program. How can I locate the previous sites and access them from version 12?

Hello Stein J,

It is essential to export your projects using Step 5 of version 11, else you will be unable to import them and work with them in version 12.

Open up your copy of Evolution 11 and load the project which you wish to convert to version 12.

Then go to Step 5 and select the option 'Export the Project' (see the screenshot attached)  -  WebSite X5 will allow you to save this file at the location of your choice.  NB: don't use the option 'Export the Website to disk' as this is for other purposes and won't produce the file you need.

Now open up your new copy of Evolution 12 , click the 'Start' button in the top-right corner of the opening screen...  you will then arrive at the Project Selection screen.

Look to the far right of this screen and you will see a button marked 'Import'  -  if you click it a dialogue window will open and allow you to browse to the location of the IWZIP file that you exported earlier from version 11.

You will find further details in the WebSite X5 help file:
