This work enables us to:$$$deliver new features more effectively$$$improve long-term Windows compatibility$$$reduce common sources of instability$$$keep Citavi for Windows evolving in a sustainable way$$$This release is a significant step toward the next wave of product improvements.$$$$$$MSI and Downgrade Advisory$$$Due to limitations in earlier MSI packages; installing an older Citavi version over a newer 7.2 installation is not supported. If you need to revert to an earlier version; please uninstall the newer version first before installing the older one. $$$$$$The application’s Windows Installer ProductCode has changed in this version. This may affect environments that rely on MSI detection rules; upgrade chains; or automated deployment scripts. No action is required for normal installations. IT administrators should adjust any deployment configurations referencing the previous ProductCode.
