@az The recommendation for customers using the labeling tool (FOTT) is to migrate to the new Studio to use the latest release.
All 2.x models work also with the new API and it is backward compatible. If you would like to train, update models or use the new features such as signature detection, new languages etc. you can open the project in the new studio by connecting to the blob folder. All previous labeled fields should exist.
