What do you mean with custom work?If I do an upgrade will I lose all my template edits and custom work?
If you made it to the Master Template (this is not the default style but the core style), then yes it will.
1. normal users doesn't see the master style (you can see it only in the debug mode, which shouldn't be enabled on the liveboard)
2. Hm, why should anybody change the master templates?
even after you update you will need to manually click a 'revert template' button to update any customised templates. they wont automatically overwrite, so you will have an opportunity to copy and paste the old ones somewhere to work out how to update the new ones.Well I meant mostly template edits.
If you do that then any changes to the template in the latest release will be lost.I also edited the PAGE_CONTAINER template to add a custom message box. Should I simply copy the PAGE_CONTAINER code to a text file then copy it back again after upgrading?
Are you copying and pasting the same code back? Might as well not revert.I had to revert 7 outdated Templates. I made a copy of them, reverted, paste my Code into the reverted Templates.. et voila.

There is no need and in fact that is not the correct way to do it.Thanks Brogan, but what about the custom style? Can I simply export it before upgrading, then import it again?
Doing that only sets the value of the template to new, but it can actually does more harm than good. When you revert the template, it adds the extra settings and template changes (such as, new hooks). If they decided to change something that was there in the beginning to something completely different and void using the old structure, then your site is going to look very weird.I had to revert 7 outdated Templates.
