+<MarkdownChipRow labels={["Beginner"]} />
+
+## Overview
+
+This section provides information to help you troubleshoot and resolve or work around common issues that are related to the following tasks:
+
+-   Downloading and installing the IC SDK.
+
+-   Creating, building, or deploying canisters.
+
+-   Using the [IC SDK](/docs/current/developer-docs/getting-started/install).
+
+-   Running the local replica.
+
+## Migrating an existing project
+
+Currently, there is no automatic migration or backward compatibility for any projects that you might have created using previous versions of the IC SDK. After upgrading to the latest version, you might see error or failure messages if you attempt to build or install a project created with a previous version of the IC SDK.
+
+In many cases, however, you can continue to work with projects from a previous release by manually changing the `dfx` setting in the `dfx.json` configuration file, then rebuilding the project to be compatible with the version of the IC SDK you have currently installed.
+
+For example, if you have a project that was created with IC SDK version `0.8.0`, open the `dfx.json` file in a text editor and change the `dfx` setting to the latest version or remove the section entirely.
+
+## Restarting the local replica
+
+In some cases, starting the local replica fails due to stale state. If you encounter issues when running `dfx start` to start the local replica:
+
+- #### Step 1:  Interrupt the local replica process through Ctrl+C if necessary, then stop the local replica:
+
+```bash
+dfx stop
+```
+
+- #### Step 2: If not all `dfx` processes can be stopped, forcibly end them:
+
+```
+dfx killall
+```
+
+- #### Step 3:  Restart the local replica in a clean state by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+dfx start --clean --background
+```
+
+The `--clean` option removes checkpoints and stale state information from your project’s cache so that you can restart the local replica and web server processes in a clean state.
+
+:::danger
+Resetting the state information by running `dfx start --clean` removes your existing canisters and new canister IDs may differ from old ones.
+:::
+
+- #### Step 4: Recreate your canisters:
+
+```bash
+dfx canister create --all
+dfx build
+dfx canister install --all
+```
+
+## Removing the canisters directory
+
+If you run into problems building or deploying canisters after successfully connecting to ICP and registering canister identifiers, you should remove the `canisters` directory before attempting to rebuild or redeploy the canisters.
+
+You can remove the `canisters` directory for a project by running the following command in the project’s root directory:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf ./.dfx/* canisters/*
+```
+
+## Reinstalling `dfx`
+
+Some bugs can be addressed by uninstalling and reinstalling the IC SDK:
+
+```bash
+~/.cache/dfinity/uninstall.sh && sh -ci "$(curl -sSL https://internetcomputer.org/install.sh)"
+```
+
+If you have modified the location of the IC SDK binary (the binary is titled `dfx`), you might want run the following command to uninstall the version of the IC SDK that is in your PATH, then reinstall the latest version of the IC SDK:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf ~/.cache/dfinity && rm $(which dfx) && sh -ci "$(curl -sSL https://internetcomputer.org/install.sh)"
+```
+
+## Xcode prerequisite
+
+For macOS environments, you should have **Developer Command Line Tools** installed if you want to create a Git repository for your project.
+
+You can check whether you have the developer tools installed by running `xcode-select -p`. You can install the developer tools by running `xcode-select --install`.
+
+## Memory leak
+
+Fixing memory leaks is an ongoing process. If you encounter any error messages related to memory leaks, you should do the following:
+
+- #### Step 1:  Run `dfx stop` to stop currently running processes.
+
+- #### Step 2:  Uninstall the IC SDK to prevent further degradation.
+
+- #### Step 3:  Re-install the IC SDK
+
+- #### Step 4:  Run `dfx start` to restart replica processes.
+
+Alternatively, you can remove the `.cache/dfinity` directory and re-install the latest IC SDK `dfx` binary:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf ~/.cache/dfinity && sh -ci "$(curl -sSL https://internetcomputer.org/install.sh)"
+```

 ## Overview
 The Internet Computer Protocol supports two types of messages: updates and queries. An update message is executed on all nodes and persists canister state changes. A query message discards state changes and typically executes on a single node. It is possible to execute a query message as an update. In such a case, the query still discards the state changes, but the execution happens on all nodes and the result of execution goes through consensus. This “query-as-update” execution mode is also known as replicated query.
 
-An update can call other updates and queries. However a query cannot make any calls, which can hinder development of scalable decentralized applications (dapps), especially those that shard data across multiple canisters.

- * A composite query cannot call canisters on another subnet.
- * A composite query cannot be executed as an update. As a result, updates cannot call composite queries.

 - First, determines the ID of the data partition canister that holds the value with the given key.
 - Then, makes a call into the `get` or `put` function of that canister and parses the result.
 
-Below is a simplified example of the frontend code. Take note of the line `#[query(composite = true)]` which is used to leverage the new composite query feature:
-
-```rust
-#[query(composite = true)]
-async fn frontend_get(key: u128) -> Option<u128> {

-	match call(canister_id, "get", (key, ), ).await {

-### Setting up the example
-- #### Step 1: Open a terminal window and clone the DFINITY examples repo with the command:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/dfinity/examples.git
+```rust file=../../../references/samples/rust/composite_query/src/kv_frontend/lib.rs

+</TabItem>
 
-- #### Step 2: Navigate into the `rust/composite_query/src` directory, start a local replica, and build the frontend canister with the commands:
-
-```bash
-cd rust/composite_query/src
-dfx start
-dfx canister create kv_frontend
-dfx build kv_frontend
-During compilation of the fronted canister, the backend canister's wasm code will be compiled and inlined in the frontend canister's wasm code.

-- #### Step 3: Then, install the frontend canister with the command:

-```
-dfx canister install kv_frontend
-```
-
-### Interacting with the canisters
-- #### Step 1: To add a key-value pair via the frontend canister, run the following command:
-
-```bash
-dfx canister call kv_frontend put '(1, 1337)'
-```
-
-:::note
-The first call to put might be slow to respond because the data partition canisters have to be created first.
-:::
-
-The output should resemble the following indicating that no value has previously been registered for this key:
-```(null)```
-
-- #### Step 2: Retrieve the value associated with a key using composite queries with the command:
-
-```bash
-dfx canister call kv_frontend get '(1)'
-```
-
-The output should resemble the following:
-```(opt (1337 : nat))```
-
-This workflow displays the ability to fetch the value using composite queries with very low latency.
-
-## Comparing composite queries to calls from update functions
-Let’s now compare the performance of composite query calls with those of an equivalent implementation that leverages calls from update functions. To do this, you will use the `get_update` method, which contains the exact same logic, but is implemented based on update calls. Run the following command in your terminal window:
-
-```bash
-dfx canister call kv_frontend get_update '(1)'
-```

-The output will resemble the following:

-You can observe that with update calls you receive the very same result, but the call is at least one order of magnitude slower compared to composite query calls.
