-## Updating R inside the RKWard installation
+## Using a different version of R with your RKWard installation
 
-Since RKWard 0.7.1, updating R is often possible without any updates to RKWard, especially, for patch level releases of R (e.g. 4.1.**3** over 4.1.**2**).
-
-The recommended way to update R is to
-
-1. Install R as usual, in its default installation location.
-2. Open the file `[Your\RKWard\Installation\]\KDE\bin\rkward.ini`, and change
-   the path for "R_executable" to either "auto" or the full path to R.exe.
-3. In case of any problems revert the changes to rkward.ini.
-
-Alternatively, you can install your new version of R to `[Your\RKWard\Installation\]KDE\libs\R`. The potential advantage is that you will not have to reinstall your R packages after updating R (although it is still recommendable to do so).
+To use RKWard with a different version of R than contained in the package, just install that version of R, separately. Then, in RKWard select _Settings_->_Check installation_, and select that installation
+as the new backend.
