Backup Data prior to 4.4

I am super concerned that when I uninstall 4.3 and reinstall 4.4 I will lose all of my data.

How can I back things up/prevent this from happening?

Hi! I exported the folders with my workflows in it, it’s going to end up being a .knar file, OR you can export your workflows one by one (they will be .knwf files).

You can do this by doing simple copy paste on OS level or as @Coral_OBrien said, by exporting your workspace.

To retrieve list of all installed extensions see this topic:

While i get the need to re-install the extensions, i can’t find a way to easily view the list of extensions that i had installed (…
