How does one downgrade pycharm version -- ideally without uninstalling pycharm or keeping multiple version?
I'm currently facing an issue with the latest version of pycharm (detailed at the end). Due to that I want to downgrade pycharm version from 2023.4 to 2023.2 or 2023.3 such that it disturbs my computer the least e.g., not losing settings, projects, deployment configs, avoiding keeping multiple version of the idea in my computer to avoid confusions, etc.
How does one do this? I couldn't find anything on their website or the settings menu or google.

I'm trying to push to my servers on save and manually. It doesn't work. I updated to version:
PyCharm 2023.1.4 (Professional Edition)

it doesn't work. If I go directly to the SSH configuration by clicking the ... button next to the me@uni.edu then try to connect from there using Test Connection it connects. But one window before the ... the Test Connection doesn't work. Push on save doesn't work. Also, manually pushing doesn't work. There is a fatal bug that wasted a lot of time for me today. Needs to be urgently fixed.

It's recommended to use Toolbox in order to manage your IDEs. You can easily install/uninstall/update and install different versions with it. In regards to your configuration whenever you remove an IDE your settings and projects are not deleted and you can easily import them once you reinstall it- https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/sharing-your-ide-settings.html#import-export-settings
In regards to your original issue, please submit a report with Support in order to get additional details about the matter.
Miguel Monteiro I was able to install a different version via the toolbox but it is not clear to me how to start using that version I installed. Could you please point me to some directions? Thanks!
Miguel Monteiro Nevermind, I see now that you install the new version via `Installed > PyCharm Professional YYYY.MM.DD > Tool Actions (three vertical dots) > Other Versions > install another version` and then you return the the toolbox main screen and will find your newly installed version under `Installed`
