Speckle’s new next-gen connectors (v3) offer faster performance, expanded features, and a unified data model. This guide helps you migrate your workflows from legacy v2 connectors to the next-gen environment.

​
Why upgrade?

✅ Next-gen connectors are faster and more reliable.
✅ Expanded property support and consistent schemas.
✅ Designed for workspace-based projects, enabling true collaboration.
v2 and v3 connectors cannot be used interchangeably.

​
Migration steps

1

Remove legacy v2 connectors

Uninstall the old Speckle plugin files from your authoring tool or remove them via your plugin manager.
2

Install next-gen (v3) connectors

Visit the next-gen connectors page for downloads and installation instructions.
3

Create workspace projects

Next-gen connectors require workspace-based projects.
  • Go to your workspace in the Speckle web interface.
  • Create a new project for each workflow you want to upgrade.
4

Re-send data using next-gen connectors

Since v2 and v3 connectors use different data models, data migration involves re-sending your models:
  • Open your model in your authoring tool (e.g., Revit, Rhino, SketchUp).
  • Use the next-gen connector to send your model to the newly created v3 project.
5

Validate and adjust workflows

  • Open the new project in the Speckle web interface to confirm your data.
  • Adjust any scripts or automation tools to use the new workspace project structure.
