Plugin Updates VS project compatibility
Generally, with minor updates, Dehancer settings in existing projects are not affected, but this depends on many factors, including DaVinci version, operating system and the entire processing chain.
If the upcoming Dehancer update does not technically allow to maintain settings compatibility, new version will be automatically installed as a separate, independent plugin.
