Displayr is usually ahead of Q in development, which means that your installed version of Q could be unable to handle features and functions added to Displayr.
The following notes list these differences and which Q versions may be affected. Note that working in Q in versions that do not support a particular Displayr function may result in issues when you re-upload your QPack to Displayr. The differences below highlight those potential issues.
| Displayr release date | Q versions affected | Differences |
| 20 Jan 2026 | All versions |
Pasted / Entered Data Sources are not compatible with Q. When opening a Displayr document in Q and that document contains a Data Source that has been pasted or entered manually, that data source will not be available in Q. Re-uploading this to Displayr will break any outputs created using that type of data source. If this data is needed for analysis, instead, save the pasted/entered data in a .csv or Excel file, and upload it to Displayr as a Data Source, then create your outputs. This will ensure the data is included when the document (QPack) is opened in Q. |
| 18 Nov 2024 | All versions 5.17.5 and earlier | When opening a Displayr document in Q, all but the first warning and first message will be lost on every Calculation. The data in each Calculation is not impacted. |
| 16 Jan 2024 | All versions prior to 5.17 | Prior to Q version 5.17, filter and sort thresholds set in Calculations (see How to Configure Filtering and Sorting in Calculations) will not be retained when opened in Q. They will be reset to 0 if the QPack is uploaded to Displayr. |
| 11 Oct 2023 | All released versions | Improvements to the settings for hiding variables were added to Displayr (see How to Hide and Unhide Variables and Variable Sets). When editing QPacks in Q, note that re-uploading this QPack to Displayr will cause these settings to reset, and you will need to change them back again in Displayr. |
