How to prepare for a major version upgrade
We first recommend creating a new application with version 6 installed.
Custom survey themes
All custom survey themes (this includes extended themes) will be uninstalled and the options configured will be reset to the default.
Upgrade Strategy:
- Export the survey theme from the old application
- Import into the new application
- Check what changes are required
- Implement your changes
- Export your customized surveytheme from the new application
- After upgrading your old application, import the new survey theme, and you are done!
Custom admin themes
All custom admin themes will be uninstalled and the new default will be used.
Upgrade strategy:
- Copy the existing admin theme from the old application to the new application [insert link to admin theme documentation]
- Check what changes are required
- Implement your changes
- After upgrading your old application, copy the new admin theme into the upgraded application, and you are done!
Custom question themes
Custom question themes will still be active but will need to be checked for compatibility in your new version.
