Is it okay to install new version of app on top of old one?

[Sadioga]

Apps like GIMP and LibreOffice do not update by themselves. I have to download app's new version and put it into App Folder. It asks if I want to remove previous version.

Should I remove older version from App Folder myself or can I just drop newer version to App Folder and let App itself write over/remove the previous version?

You can do it either way.

Nah... there is no reason to remove the old one first. Just drag the newer one in and it will replace the old application package.
