Upgrading TMs (context menu vs. ribbon)

Question

If I choose "Upgrade Translation Memories" in the ribbon, I have to go through a huge dialogue and end up with all TM names changed: Test.sdltm will now be Test (2).sdltm and so on. 
 
 If I right-click on the TM and select "Upgrade TM", no further questions are asked and Studio just does the job. 
 Is the outcome any different? Why does the ribbon option change the name of the TM (has to be changed in all project settings then...)?

Hello , 
 Using the 'right click' menu- all you can do is update the available TM's that are ready for upLIFT. 
 Anything else- then yes you would use the Upgrade translation memories option.

Hello Daniel Hug , 
 The two options produce different results. 
 If you have a single TM that is ready for upgrading...ie large enough to enjoy the benefits of 'upLIFT'... 
 
 then the TM will be highlighted with the small triangle and the option to upgrade will be available 
 
 However, if I choose a small TM (and therefore not ready to benefit from upLIFT- the option to upgrade will be greyed out 
 
 and you cannot upgrade. 
 The second option.... 
 
 Allows you to upload multiple TMs and fine tune what you want to do in more detail 
 ...maybe create one (from multiple) translation memory for each language pair.
