Click on Enable Macros.

Mac
Cascade download file

Click on the Cascade file in the bottom left of the screen.

Click on Enable Macros when Cascade opens.

4 Save the New Cascade File

Often, the downloaded file is saved in the Download folder. This is not a good place to keep Cascade. It is much better to save it to your Documents folder or a cloud storage area such as DropBox, iCloud or OneDrive.

Make sure you have a backup process to recover your files if a disaster strikes.

Excel File Save As

Save your Cascade file to a working folder by clicking on File, Save As, then select a folder where you keep your important documents.

5 Transfer your Client information to the new version

In Cascade, move to the Theme Table and click on Import Themes.

The browser window appears where you need to select your previous Cascade file. Follow the prompts where it will pull in your client or staff names and themes. There is a counter in the bottom left corner indicating the progress of the import.
