US Patent 10394768 Selective data migration on schema breaking changes

This disclosure describes converting data from a current data schema to an updated data schema in response to an application being updated. More specifically, this disclosure describes how data stored on computing device can be converted from any previous data schema version to an updated data schema version using a single conversion operation. Additionally, any data and/or content that has already been downloaded and stored on the computing device may be salvaged and associated with the newly converted data. As such, previously downloaded content does not need to be downloaded again when a data schema associated with an application has been updated.
