Hi,

as much as I like new versions and new features, there are many things, why I can’t switch. For example Workflows I’ve build in old v1 in my system.

Now I realize, some functions in v1 doesn’t work.  
For example Journal button.

“error parsing command link argument - command journal not found”

As long, as there doesn’t exist for all my functions Lua examples, I must stay on v1.

Could you pleas tell me, howto get old functions working again?

I’ve updated in settings the path

```auto
libraries:
- import: "[[!v1.silverbullet.md/Library/Core/*]]"

```

Thanks  
br

I don’t see how the release of v2 impacts your 0.x install unless you auto update from the :latest docker image which has now switched over. Can you confirm the version you’re running with the Version command?

Hmm, was Journal ever a command? I don’t think so, or is this something you defined yourself?

Could be from one guide here in this board.

But I see some buttons in [v1.silverbullet.md](http://v1.silverbullet.md) also doesn’t work ..

You did a great job but as user it’s too hard to change to v2, if you created several special functions you need .. you can close this issue

@Pat I agree. I have followed the chat as V2 was implemented. Too many problems with breakage with the rapid development rate making V2 to unstable for me.

I use Silverbullet daily. It is essential for me. So, I’m staying with V1. I just hope that it continues to work into the future. , I truly love Silverbullet and I want to keep on using it. My only other option is moving to Obsidian which has it’s own issues for me. I am far more comfortable here. 🤞

I’ve deployed v1 and v2 on same server.

Than startet in v2 clean to resolve every function I had in v1 step by step. Took think 12-16 hours and than, when all was fixed, I copied the old markdown files to v2.

I also deployed obsidian parallel and also deployed most functions from Silverbullet in obsidian, that if it‘s needed (if v3 breaks also all functions) I can fast switch and maybe leave sb.

It was much work to search in forum and ask for help / resolve issues.
