Update to Citavi 6.3 Now Available
We just released an updated version of Citavi 6 (Citavi 6.3.0.0). We encourage you to install this version so you can take full advantage of the new features and bug fixes listed below.
If an update notification does not appear automatically in Citavi, you can download and install the Setup at https://www.citavi.com/download. Your Citavi projects and settings will not be affected by the update, and it's not necessary to uninstall Citavi 6.0 before installing the update.
As always, this is a free update for all version 6 users.
Improvements
- The restoring of unsaved cloud information has been improved (for example, if the user's laptop suddenly shut down due to an empty battery).
