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,

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

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
Clemens

Thanks Eduard
That's very helpful.
It looks like I edited the Dashboard.WebHome. The link I get is
http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/Main/WebHome?editor=inline and I also get the
warning at the top that says "You are editing a dashboard defined in a different
page, xwiki:Dashboard.WebHome. Your changes will impact all the pages using that dashboard
configuration. If you want to customize only this page, edit this page in WYSIWYG mode and
configure the dashboard macro with an empty source parameter."
But I will take a backup right now just to be extra safe :)
