  2. (If you get a warning message, “Installation_Manager.jar” is a Java application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?” then click ‘Open’.)

  6. Actually, clicking ‘OK’ won’t re-open your journal, despite the on-screen message; you’ll need to open it in the normal way.

Locating your Journal after the update

The update process will have changed the name of your Journal folder from ‘Resonance Journal for Mac’ to ‘Resonance_Journal’ – this is to make it compatible with future updates. This may mean you need to change your shortcut to match.

To set a Dock shortcut, you can open the Journal by navigating to it with Finder, then control-click its icon in the Dock and choose ‘Options > Keep in Dock’. Or you can make a desktop alias (link to external website).

Future updates will just be a matter of clicking a button in your Journal!
