Introduction

This article demonstrates how to determine the version of a module in a Mendix application.

Knowing how to find this can be useful when checking if a module is up to date or needs to be upgraded.

Environment/Prerequisites

Studio Pro (all versions)

There are several ways to find out the version of an installed module. This depends on how old the module is:

For newer modules, the version information can be found in a .version file, which is located within the themesource folder in the app directory. To find the .version file, navigate to App > Show App Directory in Explorer in Studio Pro. Once in the app directory, navigate to the themesource folder and then to the folder of the module in question. The .version file can be opened in any text editor. See the screenshot below for an example of the Atlas Core module:
Some modules contain a constant that stores the version number. The value of the constant is updated with each new release of the module in question. In Studio Pro, navigate to App > Marketplace Modules > Module (e.g. NanoflowCommons) and look for a constant that indicates the version. See the screenshot below for an example of the Nanoflow Commons module:
Some modules contain an empty folder that indicates the version. The name of the folder is updated with each new release of the module in question. In Studio Pro, navigate to App > Marketplace Modules > Module (e.g. Encryption) > _Docs and look for a folder that indicates the version. See the screenshot below for an example of the Encryption module:
