Re: [libreoffice-users] Upgrade information

Hi :)
This link about the User Profile might explain a few things
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile

Uninstalling any version of LibreOffice does not remove all the settings and configurations, 
Extensions (Add-ons), galleries and so on.  They are all left in your User Profile.  So, the 
standard way to upgrade is to uninstal any previous version and then do a fresh install of the new 
one and let it pick up all your old settings.  

If you wanted to "get back to factory settings" then instead of doing a reinstall you would just 
rename your user profile, effectively backing-up your old one in case getting back to defaults 
didn't fix the problem you had been facing.  

Most OpenSource projects seem to work the same way, eg Firefox (web-browser), Gimp (picture 
editing) and so on.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, 3.4.6 will replace 3.4.4 without any issues.

I do not know about the more from 3.4.6 to 3.5.2.

If you are a "power user", or business user, I would stick with 3.4.6.
If you want the more cutting edge version, go ahead and install 3.5.2 as the "upgrade".

I have not upgraded my Windows laptops from 3.4.5 yet.  I run Ubuntu and still run 3.4.5.

IF you want 3.4.5, you can get it.  But 3.4.6 is the last of that line and may be better.
