IMPORTANT Unsupported items are not deleted when a project is converted to Mac-only hidden.

Project items created by features not present in Mac are hidden in projects converted to and opened in NVivo Mac. NVivo Mac does not have all of the features of the Windows version. if the project has large media files embedded in it, the files are stored outside (but linked to from) the Windows project.

In some cases Mac projects over 10 GB can be converted, e.g. Mac projects can be up to 512 GB compared to 10 GB for Windows, so Mac projects over 10 GB may not be able to be converted. There are important differences between Windows and Mac projects that you should be aware of before converting: Differences between Windows and Mac projects This is because NVivo Windows has the full NVivo feature set- NVivo Mac has a subset of these.ĭepending on project size and your computer's power, project conversion can take some time.

If you do work with a project across platforms we recommend making the project's 'master' version in Windows, and import all data files there. NVivo Collaboration Server uses Windows-format project files ( NVivo Collaboration Server is compatible with Windows only). You can convert projects between the platforms however there are limitations such that, while you can successfully convert a project on a once-off basis it is not recommended you convert between the formats on an ongoing basis. NVivo on Windows and Mac are separate software applications with different project file formats (file extensions.
