We would not recommend that you upgrade your Pixotope machines in the middle of a production or pre-production phase. This is particularly important as this release upgrades the Unreal Engine version to 4.24.
When choosing to upgrade, we recommend that you backup your existing Pixotope projects, so that you will be able to go back if you need to.

Unreal projects can be used in Pixotope right away and do not need any other migration steps.

Delete the following folders in your Pixotope project:

Plugins
All third-party plugins need to be recompiled for Pixotope 1.3 (please check that they compile with Unreal Engine 4.24 first).
