Installation

To setup an OpenSlides 4 instance, please follow our install instructions.

Migration from OpenSlides 3.4

The structure of the application as well as the usage changed heavily with OpenSlides 4. The new structure supports multiple meetings, grouped into committees, in one organization. A previous instance of OpenSlides 3 is now a single meeting in OpenSlides 4. This is why there is no automatic migration path.

However, you have the possiblity to export your meeting from OpenSlides 3 and import it in OpenSlides 4:

In your OpenSlides 3 instance, go to "Settings", click on the three dots in the top right-hand corner and click "Export to OpenSlides4". A JSON file will be downloaded which contains all your instance's data.
In your OpenSlides 4 instance, create a committee to hold your old meeting by selecting "Committees" on the left side, clicking the "+" button, filling out the relevant form data and clicking "Save" (or choose an existing meeting by selecting the respective list entry). In the committee's detail view, click on the three dots in the top right-hand corner and then "Import meeting". Select the previously downloaded file and click "Upload". You should now see your OpenSlides 3 instance as an entry in the meeting list.
