I don't see such an option in the menu "three vertical dots" (at the top right).

Thank you very much, Maurizio, for your clear explanation!

Hi, Mary.

It is curious that your version does not show the kebab menu (Three vertical dots) as in the attached screenshot.

If the version you are using is not portable (zip) but installed (exe), to update it to the current version 2.0.0, you can download the current windows (jamovi-2.0.0.0-win64.exe) from the download area and then launch it.
The installation procedure will ask you if you want to replace it with the present one and with the confirmation it will proceed with the uninstallation of your current 1.8.4 and then the installation of the current 2.0.0.
At the end you can check in "C: \ Program Files \" the presence of the folder "jamovi 2.0.0.0".

Cheers,
Maurizio
