Hello @smartishhome! 👋

Although you can theoretically run 1Password 7 and 1Password 8 at the same time I don't recommend it since it can cause issues with things like filling in the browser. You can always update to 1Password 8, give it a try, and then go back to 1Password 7 in the future if you wish. Updating to 1Password 8 is not a one-way door.

If you do decide to run both at the same time then each will maintain its own offline cache and connection to 1Password.com which means that you'll see the same items (and changes made to those items) in both apps.

Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂
