Local projects

Word Add-In

  • The digital certificate for the document template for the Word Add-In had expired.

Other

Password-protected team projects created with Citavi 3 or Citavi 4 can no longer be directly migrated to Citavi 6.5. The password protection needs to be removed in Citavi 3 or 4 before the migration.
