Project Upgrade Notifications

Set the project upgrade notifications for detected local distributions by using the options under the Project Upgrade Notifications for Detected Local Distributions:

  • Suggest project upgrades for Telerik product versions available on my computer—When enabled, you are prompted to upgrade upon opening a project, which is not using the latest version of Telerik products installed on your system.
  • Suggest upgrades when an equal Dev release is detected on projects using a Trial—When enabled, you are prompted to upgrade if a licensed version is available on your system, but the current project uses a trial version.

Download Folder Selection

  • Select a folder for downloads—Configures the path where the extensions look for and store distributions.

Changing the folder path does not move existing folder contents from your previous path. Move your previous folder contents manually if you still want to use them.
