Command History, Preferences, and Favorites

If you uninstall Release 12.0, you will lose the Command History, preferences, and Help browser favorites from Release 12.0.

To keep these files for use in Release 12.1, make a copy of them before uninstalling Release 12. To see where the files are located, run prefdir in the Command Window. The relevant files are listed below.

Filename
File For
cwdhistory.m
Command Window history
history.m
Command History
matlab.prf
Preferences
matlab_help.hst
Help browser favorites

After uninstalling Release 12, put your backup copy of the files in the location returned by prefdir so that Release 12.1 can use the files.

Help Browser Favorites

If you use favorites you created for the documentation in the Release 12.0 Help browser, those favorites may point to an incorrect or invalid location in Release 12.1. You will need to delete any invalid favorites and add those favorites again.

Source Control

If you use Microsoft Visual SourceSafe with the MATLAB source control features, you now need to specify the login information for SourceSafe using preferences. Select File -> Preferences -> General -> Source Control from the desktop. Specify the Username, Password, and Database.
