Where is Tools > Upgrade/Downgrade? I am running ⁨25.09.2 and I can’t find this menu.

Thanks.

It’s underneath “Manage Note Types”. But it’s only available if you have the launcher version, else the menu entry is hidden.

              return cmd, env
          
          
          def on_addon_config():
              showInfo(
                  "This add-on is automatically added when installing older Anki versions, so that they work with the launcher. You can remove it if you wish."
              )
          
          
          def setup():
              mw.addonManager.setConfigAction(__name__, on_addon_config)
          
              if pointVersion() >= 250600:
                  return
              if not launcher_executable():
                  return
          
              # Add action to tools menu
              action = QAction("Upgrade/Downgrade", mw)
              action.triggered.connect(confirm_then_upgrade)
