V2.1 is Oct. 2019. This is a free update if you own v2.0, so you should take advantage of getting it now.
IF you have v2.1 and above, please refer to your online documentation. Here is a quick link.

I have created either motifs, stamps, borders, auto fabrics, or thread charts in Hatch v1. How do I get them into Hatch v2.0?
First > close both your Hatch v1 and Hatch v2.0 if it is running.
You will want to copy these from your V1 Programs Folder before you uninstall your Hatch v1 software. You will then past them into the same folder for your Hatch v2 software.
Then restart your Hatch v2 software and check for the files.
