== Updating when files within release might overwrite your own edits ==
If you have edited any files that sit on your '''web site''', to give the look you desire, or the content you want (e.g. adding rain this month to this month page, or combining this month and this year page), see if the release notice says that file has been revised, if it has not then it is easy to keep your edited file by not copying in the replacement file from within the zip. If the release revises any file you previously edited, take a backup of your edited file, before you copy the new file into your folder. You can then use a file comparing tool to see what has changed in the release and what you changed and hopefully manage to merge to a new file that keeps any functionality change in a new release and keeps your customisation.
If you have done major customisation to the standard website then you probably have followed the guidance and stored your new web page templates in a different directory and you use '''Extra Files''' to specify where they are, so they cannot be overwritten and the new MX will still find them.
