Backlight Upgrade from v1.0.2 to v1.0.5

I am currently working in v1.0.2 and want to upgrade to v1.0.5, but am a little concerned about losing some of my preferences or settings that took me a while to establish. In reading through the readme file that was provided, it look like all I need to do are the following steps:

1. **Remove and re-upload the following files and directories:**

  * backlight/admin/
  * backlight/designer/
  * backlight/framework/
  * backlight/publisher/

  * backlight/modules/module-pages/
  * backlight/modules/okapi-core/
  * backlight/modules/standard-album/
  * backlight/modules/standard-album-set/
  * backlight/modules/standard-page/

  * TTG-Publisher.lrplugin

2. **Clear the Designer Template Cache** by visiting Backlight -> Designer -> Templates -> Clear Template Cache

3. **Visit each of the Backlight, Designer and Publisher admin sections** to allow Backlight to run any
necessary database updates.

Seems pretty straight forward, but saw issues that others have posted after they upgraded and wanted to see if there are any additional recommendations to help ensure that there will be no loss of preferences or settings after upgrading.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

When in doubt, I would say those are exactly the items to replace.

I can't think of any issues you might have, other than something that might have changed in template settings. If you templates are borked after updating, you can usually just re-save your template to correct. If you have any problems you cannot solve, then come here and let us know.
