TerraGo Edge 4.0 is now available! Since this release includes so many new enhancements to the app UI and incremental features, we want our customers to be able to control when they upgrade their mobile apps to the latest version. Therefore, the new version is available on the app stores as 'TerraGo Edge 4', and customers can run both versions of the Edge app, while training their field users.
In order to ensure your success, here are details on steps to upgrade and some FAQs regarding this release and upgrade.
Steps for Upgrading to TerraGo Edge 4:
1. Download the new app, "TerraGo Edge 4" from the product release announcement or the TerraGo website.
2. Confirm that your TerraGo Edge server has been upgraded to version 4. This will automatically happen for hosted servers. Upgrade installers for on-premise servers were sent to the organizations administrators in the product release announcement.
3. You can continue to use both the old and new apps (TerraGo Edge and TerraGo Edge 4 respectively). Both apps will sync data with your TerraGo Edge server.
4. When you’re ready to upgrade exclusively to TerraGo Edge 4, make sure all your TerraGo Edge app data has been fully synchronized to your Edge server before deleting the TerraGo Edge app to avoid any potential data loss.
FAQs for Upgrading to TerraGo Edge 4.0:
Q: How can I tell that all my old TerraGo Edge app data has been fully synchronized to the server?
A: The best way is to confirm by logging on to your Edge server through the Edge web UI and visually inspecting that all data has been synched.
Q: How long can I keep using TerraGo Edge current version 3.9.8.1 before migrating to TerraGo Edge 4?

Q: Will my Edge v3.9 apps still work with the new TerraGo Edge server 4?
A: Edge 3.9.8.1 apps will work with Edge server 4, but Edge 4 apps will not work with Edge server 3.9.8.1.

Therefore, you can control the timing of your Edge server upgrade. Edge 3.9.8.1 and 4 app will both work with Edge server 4, but only 3.9.8.1 Edge apps will work with 3.9.8.1 Edge server.
