Im pretty behind on pico 8 versions so i just want to know how can i update pico 8 in a way where ill keep all of the work ive done. Thanks!

Simply running the installer found on your Lexaloffle downloads page should update PICO-8 without clearing your carts folder. It doesn't hurt to back them up before updating but I've never had a problem with it.

wait so just download the latest setup.exe from the downloads email i got when i got pico 8 and that will just auto update my pico 8. Is that correct?

i managed to figure out how to do it. Ty so much for the help!
