# Using an Older Version of Twine | ||
|
||
Switching from a newer version of Twine to an older one can be done, though you | ||
may experience odd behavior in the transition. Old versions of Twine of course | ||
aren't aware of any new capabilities that the newer version has added. | ||
|
||
Twine follows [semantic versioning](https://semver.org). This means that the | ||
first version number of Twine only changes when a backwards-incompatible change | ||
is made, either to how it saves stories or how it interacts with story format | ||
extensions. This means that going from (using hypothetical versions for the sake | ||
of argument) Twine 15.0.0 to Twine 14.3.6 will likely be tricky, but going from | ||
Twine 14.3.6 to Twine 14.2.0 will not be. | ||
|
||
What exactly you experience will depend on the particulars of the versions you | ||
are moving between. **You may lose data in the transition.** Switching from a | ||
newer version of Twine to an older one, generally speaking, is not well-tested. | ||
|
||
## Before You Switch Versions | ||
|
||
Regardless of whether you are using browser Twine or app Twine, you should [save | ||
an archive](../story-library/exporting.md) of your work. This will ensure that | ||
even if the absolute worst happens, you have a safe copy of your work. | ||
|
||
## Using an Older Browser Twine | ||
|
||
Each version of Twine since 2.0 is available by visiting | ||
`https://twinery.org/[version number]` in your browser. For example, you can use | ||
Twine 2.1.1 by going to `https://twinery.org/2.1.1`. | ||
|
||
## Using an Older App Twine | ||
|
||
Older releases are available on the [Twine GitHub | ||
repository](https://github.com/klembot/twinejs/releases). | ||
|
||
## After Switching Versions | ||
|
||
If you are using a built-in story format (Chapbook, Harlowe, Snowman, or | ||
SugarCube), then you will almost certainly need to either install a newer | ||
version of the story format separately, or change the story format your work | ||
uses. | ||
|
||
You may also need to [reset your preferences](../troubleshooting/wont-start.md). | ||
Although the instructions linked are for the most recent version of Twine, they | ||
will probably work with most older versions of Twine as well. |
