FAQ
#### What's new in Raycast v2?
Raycast v2 includes a refreshed interface, improved hotkey handling, new AI experience, dictation, faster file search, file search in root, quicklinks, snippets tagging and more.
#### What are the minimum requirements?
- Raycast v2 is built for macOS Tahoe. If you are still on Sequoia or earlier, you need to upgrade macOS before installing v2.
- To ensure a seamless onboarding experience, please install the latest version of Raycast v1, or at least `v1.104.16`.
- `Migrate from Raycast v1` — automatically migrates your data from v1. Importing settings at this step will also import and migrate all of your shortcuts to Raycast v2 and disable them from working in Raycast v1. This ensures that your hotkeys don’t conflict. This is the recommended approach because there is some extra data that is not imported with the manual import. This includes Clipboard History, Wrapped and Emoji picker.
- `Import Settings and Data` — a manual import from your `.rayconfig` file that you must export from Raycast v1.
#### How do I import my data to v2?
During onboarding, you’ll be prompted to import or migrate your data from Raycast v1.
If you skip this step or want to rerun it, you can do it manually using one of the following commands:
#### How do I install custom extensions in the new version?
For custom extensions to import correctly, you need to be on the latest version of Raycast V1, or at least `v1.104.16`.
If these did not automatically import, you can do it manually by running `npx @raycast/api@latest dev` and the dev command should be clever enough to pick up the new version if it’s running.
