If you've recently switched from the classic version of BarnManager to the new version, here's what to expect and how to handle common issues.
Will my data carry over automatically?
Yes — your horses, records, calendar events, contacts, and invoices should all transfer to the new version. However, the migration can sometimes take a few minutes to complete. If you've just switched, try waiting a few minutes and then doing a hard refresh of your browser:
Windows:
Ctrl + Shift + RorCtrl + F5Mac:
Cmd + Shift + R
My invoices aren't showing up in the new version.
Invoice data migrates separately and may take longer to appear. If your invoices, payment history, or products and services aren't visible after switching, try a hard refresh first. If they're still missing, please contact us through the chat widget with details about what's missing — our team can check the status of your migration and resolve it quickly.
What happened to my Lists?
In the new version, the Lists feature works differently. Lists you created in the classic version may now appear under Tasks. You can still create and manage lists from the Tasks section. If you had lists you relied on heavily (such as sign-up sheets or horse show lists) and can't find them in the new version, contact us and we'll help locate your data.
My notifications disappeared after switching.
If your in-app notifications aren't showing up after switching versions, try logging out and back in. Also check that your notification preferences are still enabled under Account → My Profile. If notifications are missing for you and other users on your account, please let us know — it may be a temporary issue our team needs to investigate.
Can I still use the classic version?
Yes — the classic version of BarnManager will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. If you prefer to use the classic version while we continue improving the new one, you can do so. If you're being redirected to the new version unexpectedly, please let us know through the chat widget.
Some things look different — has functionality changed?
The new version has a reorganized navigation and refreshed interface, but the core features are the same. A few things to keep in mind:
Records may default to showing the most recent entries first. Use the sort options to change the display order.
Some features may be under different tabs or menus than in the classic version.
Check your filters if data appears to be missing — the new version may have different default filters.
We're continuing to develop and improve the new version, and your feedback is really valuable. If something isn't working the way you expect, reach out to us through the chat widget — we want to hear about it.
