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.

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.

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 ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Eduard Moraru Am: Thursday, 23.06.2016, 11:07 An: Xwiki Users Betreff: Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki 8.2 Milestone 2 released

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 :) Kind regards, Mahomed Hussein Custodian Data Centre Email: [email protected] http://www.CustodianDC.com -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eduard Moraru Sent: 23 June 2016 10:07 To: XWiki Users <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki 8.2 Milestone 2 released Hi, Depends where you did your customizations.
