You will need to update your R session to know which version to use by calling the function rmarkdown::find_pandoc(), e.g., run one of these lines of code before calling rmarkdown::render() or within your .Rmd file.

# to find a specific version
rmarkdown::find_pandoc(version = "2.9.1")

rmarkdown::find_pandoc(dir = "~/Downloads/Pandoc")

# ignore the previously found Pandoc and search again
rmarkdown::find_pandoc(cache = FALSE)
