Supported RSK versions
======================

RSK files have different types and versions,
either of which may lead to differences in the underlying dataset structure.
RSKtools currently supports RSKs that are:

* "full" version from 2.0.0 to 3.2.0
* "EPdesktop" version from 1.13.4 to 2.18.2

.. Note::

    The version of an RSK file can be easily upgraded using RBR's `Ruskin software <RUSKIN_>`_.
    Upon installing Ruskin, simply:

    * Open your RSK file with Ruskin.

    * Go to the ``File info`` tab, which presents the current version and structure type.

    * Ruskin will detect whether a new version of the RSK file format is available. If so, there will be an ``Update`` button for you to upgrade your RSK file.

    * After clicking the ``Update`` button, a new RSK file of the latest version will be created in your specified directory.
