If you get one or both of the below messages, please be aware of the following: Continuing this guide will delete all data that you have not backed up. In order to prepare yourself for an update, you have to read the update guide (This is the update guide for DFS 8.1.0 - I: Update guide) All assets you have used through DFS previously, will not be available externally after updating, if you have not serialized your silos. Continuing on from here without understanding these consequences, will most likely have you re-embed all assets again. If you are still not certain, please contact your Digizuite contact person for a more detailed explanation. |
- If you've already been told by your Digizuite contact person, that it is okay to continue the update, then please continue the installation by either pressing Yes to all. This will overwrite the old versions of DFS's files and delete all silos.
- In the following light box, tick off Overwrite (as in the image below) and press Apply to all.
- Finally, tick off the option to restart the Sitecore and press Close:
- Continue and install the package.
