Hi Kobi,

Hi Kobi,

If you changed rules and permissions then you won't loose your changes.

The only "risk" is for "training catalogue" view, that will be modified during the upgrade. Your old view will be cloned before the updates are applied (to keep a kind of backup).

But the old view won't be working any more without some adaptations to make it compliant with the new version.

We advise anyway to do a full backup of your platform before starting the upgrade.

Best regards.

Thank You axel

so what is the best way to do the upgrade ? 1. backup my DB 2. Backup all the files 3. and then replace the file with the new one ? or there is another way ? Kobi

Hi kobi, 

Hi kobi, 

After that you need to run the update. update.php or with drush. drush updatedb.

Also dont forget that not all files should be replaced. The sites folder, htaccess and robots should not be replaced for example.

Here is some documentation
