Under the General tab you can probably leave the Always keep Creative Cloud up to date as that is just for the CC app. I’ve seen reports that if you choose to remove the older versions that these settings might not transfer even with the Import box checked.Īnd while you’re at it check your Creative Cloud app preferences and make sure the Auto-update is turned off under the Apps tab. I always leave that checked as I have different keyboards shortcuts, metadata preferences, track patchings and timeline height presets saved and I always want them to move forward. Regardless, give it a look before proceeding.Īlso, note the Import previous settings and preferences. This box should be unchecked by default these days but it used to be checked by default.

If you’re presented with this box you want to make sure the Remove old versions box is unchecked if you want to keep older versions of any of the Adobe apps. I’m not going to try but the truth is I don’t think I’ve opened it in a long time but I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry. Some users saw different things depending on what you had installed but if I was to uninstall the 11.1.4 version above I don’t have any idea if I would be able to re-download it again. If you think back there was some controversy earlier in the year as Adobe eliminated some of the older versions of the apps that were available. This is what I have installed and what is available. Hit the little three dots submenu and you can see what Other versions might be available. With the new Creative Cloud app you can see what is installed, including different versions of Premiere. And sometimes it’s even possible to open a newer project file in an older version of Premiere. This isn’t always an option because sometimes the smaller dot releases don’t give this option. Adobe even facilitates this with an option to keep older versions installed when updating to a new, major release. There is no problem leaving multiple installs of Premiere on your system.


With the recent redesign of the Adobe Creative Cloud app, I think this warrants its own post instead of being tacked onto my article on the Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 update. With the new update of the Adobe video apps I think its worth a reminder to be careful when updating so you can keep your old(er) version if you need to get back to it.
