Reference data often changes between versions of the software. These changes can include deletions and additions to reference data, as well as modifications to existing data formats and locations. After you upgrade your plant data using the SmartPlant Engineering Upgrade Utility, you can use the Upgrade Reference Data command in SmartPlant P&ID Options Manager to upgrade styles, template files, symbols, and assemblies.
User Access
