Another option is to restore the Main.WebHome and/or Dashboard.WebHome after the update
via the page history to the version before the update.
As these are "content only" pages, I do not expect that a rollback to the
version before the upgrade will break something.
Then, backups before an upgrade are always a good idea
Cheers

Hi,
Depends where you did your customizations. Normally, the should be located
in Dashboard.WebHome, not in Main.WebHome (which used to just include
Dashboard.WebHome). When upgrading, there is a chance that your homepage
will be replaced by the new homepage (if you did not really touch
Main.WebHome), but your Dashboard.WebHome page should look the same as
before (again, if that`s where your customizations are actually located).
You can then edit the new homepage and re-add the include to the
Dashboard.WebHome page if that is what you wish.
There is also a chance (if you`ve edited Main.WebHome) that you might get a
prompt in the DIstribution Wizard asking you what to do with your
Main.WebHome page changes (keep them or overwrite them with the new version
of the page).
Whatever the case, just make sure to do a backup (xar export) of both
Main.WebHome and Dashboard.WebHome before upgrading, just to be safe and to
easily restore anything that the upgrade may change on your wiki.
Thanks,
Eduard

Awesome work as usual.
Please can you just confirm that if I upgrade from 8.1 to 8.2 that my
current "Home" dashboard page won't be overwritten by the new page?
I've
got some customisations on that page that I don't want to lose
(particularly as users now know how to use the wiki and expect to see what
they currently see on my customised page).
Thanks.
Kind regards,
