Hi,

I am not sure what the issue is about. Do you mean adding a version indicator to the installation wizard? What do you mean by vanishing history? Are you referring to chrome app history and the history not being visible in the desktop app? If so this article can help: https://www.advancedrestclient.com/migrate-from-chrome

Hi @jarrodek
I mean desktop version only.
I had version 17 installed and I had a lot of REST calls history in app.
Accidentally I ran version 16 installer and it didn't check that higher version is installed and damaged somehow history I got and I assume it was because of changes in latest version that are not backward compatible with earlier versions.
If you use standard installer for windows it should have some checks to prevent lower version installation if higher one present in system.
Hope it helps with clarification.
Regards,
Areg
