After succesfull upgrade of a multisite installation to 10.00.00, I decide to continue with another installation.

However after upgrading, the Dnn.Documents module fails with:

Message:Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ISearchable' from assembly 'DotNetNuke, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

The Installed module is version 7.1.0

The extension page say that there is a 8.3.1 release available. But I can not find it anywhere.
https://github.com/DNNCommunity/DNN.Documents is 7.1.0

Any help is appreciated.

Poul Erik, I saw this message from Brian Dukes on another thread in the forums "<code>ISearchable</code> has been deprecated (replaced by <code>ModuleSearchBase</code>)".

Before upgrading DNN itself you have to make sure that all the modules you're using in your website have a version available compatible with the latest DNN version.

The version you mentioned for DNN.Documents (7.1.0) its from 2018; I think you should log a PR in Github and hopefully somebody can help you out turning this module a compatible one with DNN 10 (if you've the chance to sponsor you might find a quick solution for this problem).
