[edit] Before You Begin
Due to the design of Beta 4, it is impossible to upgrade without overwriting skin modifications. Beta 5 includes a new template system. Once you upgrade, all your skins will be using the default templates.
When you reupload the'language' folder, the default language will be overwritten. If you have made modifications to your default language set, and do not wish to lose them, then do not reupload the 'language' folders. However, doing this will not upgrade your language bits and Trellis Desk may not function properly without the new changes. We realize this could be a problem, and future upgrades will be designed to work around this.
As always, reuploading files will overwrite any changes. If you made changes to the source files of Trellis Desk, such as for a modification, those changes will be lost. We highly recommend you perform a full backup of Trellis Desk (files and database) before continuing.
