-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! note ""Version 0" Message"
-    If you see an message when opening a library along the lines of **"Found Version 0"**, this means that you're opening a library created with a newer version of TagStudio in an older version of TagStudio that does not recognize the future versioning system. To open your library, you should use a TagStudio version greater than or equal to the one the library was created or last used with.
