Updating your bridge

Migrate to a new version without redoing setup — your settings transfer across.

1 min read

When a new bridge version is released, you migrate rather than set up again. Your category, animal types and traffic setting all transfer, and your listings stay live throughout.

What you need

Your current bridge rezzed in-world
The new SLCompare Starter Pack
A few minutes

1. Get the new bridge

Touch the SLCompare Update Server in-world. If you're a registered business, the latest pack is delivered to your inventory automatically.

The Update Server location is shown in your portal.

2. Unpack it

Touch the SLCompare Starter Pack [BOXED] in your inventory. You'll get the new bridge and the guides.

3. Rez the new bridge

Rez it next to your existing bridge, on the same sim. It shows:

SLC Bridge Set up or Migrate

Choose Migrate. It sends a request to your old bridge.

4. Confirm

A dialog asks whether to transfer settings from the old bridge. Choose Yes, migrate.

These come across automatically:

Category — Land & Parcels or Breedable Markets
Animal types and creators, for markets
Traffic sharing setting

The new bridge connects immediately with a fresh serial. There's no gap in service.

5. Delete the old one

The old bridge changes to "Migration complete — you can delete me". Right-click and delete it.

Done.

Worth knowing

Your serial changes after migrating. That's normal — your listings stay connected.

Migration works from v1.8 onwards. From v1.7 or earlier you'll need to go through setup once; every upgrade after that can migrate.

If it times out after 60 seconds, try again — both bridges must be rezzed on the same sim.
