To be absolutely safe, I would zip up your current Sigil Preferences folder to keep all your old settings, plugins, prefs, etc. Then rename Sigil.app in Applications to Sigil_keep.app.

Then go ahead and install the new Sigil.

If you want to go back to your original just delete the Sigil.app you installed, rename Sigil_keep.app to Sigil.app and if needed unzip your saved Preferences folder.

I am truly hoping none of that is needed and it all just works as before but faster since it will be native arm64.

And Thank You!
