Switching from older versions to MAXQDA 2022
…a team, difficulties may arise when using functions such as Intercoder or Teamwork Export and Import. What happens when converting projects from MAXQDA 2020? The emoticodes will be replaced by new symbols. Since MAXQDA 2022 does not contain all the symbols from previous MAXQDA versions (but lots of new ones), some emoticodes may be converted to standard codes. To make these codes recognizable, they will be prefixed with the name “emoticode”. What…
Merging Two MAXQDA Projects
Another teamwork feature in MAXQDA is the option to merge two projects. The “Merge projects” function causes all elements of a second project to be added to a project you currently have open.

Transfer a MAXQDA Project to Other Team Members
In this form of collaborative teamwork, the entire study is transferred as a MAXQDA project from one computer to another, ensuring that all team members are always working from the same database. Two people can never simultaneously code different documents of the study or create memos on different computers. However, all evaluation work in which no new codings are made, no new memos are written and no variable values are changed, are of course po…
