Ugrading If you'd like to upgrade to a newer version of Para CMS (or try out a development version), you can do so by extracting a para release over the top of your old one, being sure to exclude the content folder and any custom logo or background images in the images folder. For safety, back up your old install before attempting an upgrade. Some new versions may require additional images, styles, or config settings. Please see the README.mb and CHANGES files for details.
