vBook allows visual artists (painters, sculptors, art photographers, illustrators, etc.) to manage certain aspects of their artistic and commercial activity. The inventory of works and the management of contacts, exhibitions or invoices, can be some of those aspects.
vBook v5 can import data from versions 3 and 4. If you have version 4.1.2 installed, first you have to update to v 4.1.5. This update should be executed manually. The whole procedure is detailed in the following page: https://www.zoftware.net/fr/vbook-mise-a-jour-vers-415.html.
IMPORTANT ! In its standard version, vBook is physically installed on your computer and its use does not require an internet connection. Therefore, the data you enter into the application is stored on your computer.
If you uninstall vBook, you lose all entered data, except backups. For this reason, we recommend do not disable automatic backups.

The main change of this version is the new interface for macOS and iOS. The interface for Windows has not undergone significant modifications.
The iPad and macOS versions essentially share the same interface, with some differences due to the nature of iOS. The version for iPhone, on the other hand, is new and independent.
Improving compatibility with the latest macOS systems (Big Sur and above) and Windows 10 and 11 has been the main focus in this new version. Almost all the features remain the same as in the previous version, with a few new functions added.
Note: MacOS users can enable the old interface in the Settings panel. The macOS screen captures in this manual always refer to the new interface.
