Can I directly upgrade from an older version of Working Papers to the latest version? And if I do, will my files convert?

Yes, you can upgrade to the latest version without installing the versions in between. Caseware only guarantees a successful conversion between subsequent versions when converting your files. It is possible to restore older files to the latest version directly, but we encourage you to create a backup before attempting to do so.
