Whenever a new version of Prodigy is available, you'll receive an email notification. You'll then be able to download the latest version via your personal download link. The link never changes, so this is the same link you received in the first email.

The formats should always be compatible across versions. If there are breaking changes, you'll find them in the changelog:

> **[Changelog · Prodigy · An annotation tool for AI, Machine Learning & NLP](https://prodi.gy/docs/changelog/)**
>
> A downloadable annotation tool for NLP and computer vision tasks such as named entity recognition, text classification, object detection, image segmentation, A/B evaluation and more.

As I explained in[the other thread](https://support.prodi.gy/t/datasets-and-using-pre-annotated-data/1476/21), we really can't provide the level of support you're looking for, especially for a free research license. If your colleagues can't step in and help you, you might be best off looking for a paid consultant. You can post a request [here](https://support.prodi.gy/t/spacy-prodigy-consultants/738/8).
