=== Upgrading to a new release ===
 
The executable file in the release is the windows installer for the new version.''' Your data and settings are not affected, but it is still best if you back up your data (sub-folder 'data') and any settings files (e.g. cumulus.ini and strings.ini) before you run the installer.
<big>PLEASE NOTE CUMULUS 1.9.4 IS AT ITS FINAL RELEASE, so this section is just kept because it describes files included if someone downloads final version</big>
 
The executable file in the release is the windows installer for the new version.''' Your data and settings are not affected, but it is still best if you back up your data (sub-folder '[[Data folder|\data]]') and any settings files (e.g. [[cumulus.ini]] and [[strings.ini]]) before you run the installer.
 
You can install the new version where you like, but the Cumulus 1 installer will offer the same place as the previous version as the default.
 
*So tick this option, if you have a standard Cumulus implementation and then you can be sure to upgrade the standard templates.
*Untick this option if you have [[Customised_templates#Creating_Your_Own_Templates|customised the existing pages]], so that if your customised versions are in "web\*.*" they don't get overwritten. It is recommended that you store any customised pages in a directory outside the Cumulus folder, as you can specify up to 10 such files on the local side of the files tab in the Configuration menu Internet settings screen and (if you are not using standard files) untick ''Include Standard Files'' on the same screen. (100 such files can be specified in [[Cumulus.ini_(Cumulus_1)|cumulus.ini configuration file]]).
