Description

documentation enhancement

With an upcoming release, it would be nice to be able to point people to some documentation on what it means to upgrade Quarto.

For instance, RStudio users who rely on the bundled Quarto, may have never installed Quarto themselves. Should they install 1.3, or should they wait for a version of RStudio that bundles it? Do they need to do anything if they install 1.3 now, but later install RStudio with a more recent version of Quarto?

We might include:

  • How to get basic info on your current install
  • Recommendations for when and how to upgrade
  • Common "gotchas" when you have more than one Quarto version installed
  • What to do if you need to downgrade your Quarto version
