> ## Upgrading to a new version of AudBase

> #### Before installing a new version and connecting it to your old data file, you may wish to import all central modifiable lists and other customizable items from your old version, especially those you have changed. Because these lists are stored in the structure file, which will be replaced by the new version, you need to export them from the old version to a file on your computer, then import them into the new version.

> #### Exporting/importing modifiable items

> To move modifiable lists into a new version
> 1. In your current version of AudBase, switch to the administrator menu bar (Data Manager > Administrator Menu Bar), then select Clean Ups > Export for Upgrade.
> 2. Read the Confirm dialog, then click OK.
>    An Alert displays, telling you that an export file has been created. This file contains all the central modifiable lists. The Alert also shows the location of the file on your computer (for example, C:\WINNT\OTBEC\file name.TMP).
> 3. Click OK.
> 4. Install the new version of AudBase.
> 5. From the administrator menu bar in the new version, select Clean Ups > Import for New Version.
> 6. Read the Confirm dialog, then click OK.
>    A Lists to be Imported dialog appears.
> 7. Click OK.
