Upgrade Guide

Important

As of the 2022.3 release, Alteryx Designer, Server, and the R Predictive tools use new installer technology. The updated installer detects your operating system language and installs Alteryx products in that language (if applicable). It installs the English version otherwise.

In order to upgrade to the 2022.3 version, you must be on version 2020.3 or newer. If you are currently on a version that is older than 2020.3, you must first upgrade to at least 2020.3 before you can upgrade to 2022.3.
You can't roll back from the 2022.3 version to a prior version automatically. You must first manually uninstall 2022.3. This will not be a limitation going forward.
R is not automatically uninstalled when you upgrade or uninstall Designer and Server. This is not an issue if you upgrade your R version at the same time as Designer and Server.
- If R is detected when you install Designer and Server, the installer will notify you.
- If you uninstall Designer and Server, you'll be reminded to remove R.

Optional Test Drive

Download a trial and run a few existing workflows to test drive the upgrade. You can download the trial here.

The 30-day trial installs the Non-Admin version and removes a previously installed non-admin version. You can download the trial on a separate machine or install the 30-day trial alongside an already installed Admin version. Go to the Alteryx Community for more instructions. Go to Alteryx Online Help to find out more about the Admin and Non-Admin versions.
