For the version, if you don’t see that highlighted like the screenshot in your post, look for an object in the module called Documentation or something similar.

 

To update a module, in Studio Pro, open the marketplace (click on the shopping cart icon in the header bar), find the module you want to update and click the Download button (either on the home page of the module or for a specific version in the All Versions tab.  Studio Pro will take care of the rest (although you may have some errors to resolve after downloading).

 

Hope that helps,

Mike

Very bad solution because a lot of modules dont have a Version Folder.

 

For Example it is not possible to see, which atlas_core verison you have installed.

Therefore it is really hard to keep your app up to date

There are 2 ways to check the version number of a Marketplace module.

 

Look for .version file in app directory

The version number can be found in a .version file located within the themesource folder in the app directory. To do this, follow these steps:

 

  1. In the menu of Studio Pro, navigate to App > Show App Directory in Explorer and a new Explorer window opens.
  2. Open the themesource folder.
  3. Open the folder of the module you want to know the version number, for example 'atlas_core'.
  4. Open the .version file in a text editor and the version number is shown.

 

Using MprTool.exe

Studio Pro has a tool that displays metadata of your project, including the version number of the Marketplace modules used in the project. To do this, follow these steps:

 

  1. In the Explorer window, navigate to C:\Program Files\Mendix\<version>\modeler\MprTool.exe (where <version> should be replaced with your installed Mendix version).
  2. After opening the tool, open the .mpr file of your app with File > Open...
  3. After the .mpr file has been loaded, click on the module you want to know the version number in the left panel, for example 'Atlas_Core'.
  4. In the right panel, the version number is shown in the row AppStoreVersion.

Heey Elina,

 

The way to find out if a marketplace module has a newer version available is to look it up in the marketplace. Then go to the tab called "Releases” and see if there is a higher version there.

To upgrade marketplace modules is just as easy as downloading the newer version into your app. For every upgrade it is good to read the release of a version cause sometimes there are some changes needed before or after downloading it into your app.

 

Kind regards,

Edo

We can upgrade it by download the latest version and it will replace the existing module in your package.
