# Update from an earlier version

A new version might contain bug fixes and improvements. And it’s a good idea to look at the Art Conductor change log and check which templates have been changed. 

**You can safely replace an old version with a new version on your hard drive**. The easiest way to do so is to replace the entire Art Conductor folder in

**User/Music/Audio Music Apps/Articulation Settings/**

However, this will not automatically replace the Art Conductor files on your projects. To update the template in your project, you’ll need to load it again.

If a **Snapshot library** stops working after an update, chances are that the Snapshot has also changed, and you need to load the new version into the instrument.
