I'm going to be updating from 3.7.1 to 3.7.4 soon, and I just had a few questions.

- I understand I'll need to revert all my templates back. All of my templates from modifications/extras (basically anything that is not preset-vb) will be able to stay as is, right, without having to be reverted?
- All of my modifications can stay as they are, right? (Of course this is assuming they work in 3.7.4, which I see no reason any of them wouldn't)
- Will anything in the admin panel be changed to a default setting, aside from templates?

1. You can probably use your templates you have now with know problems if you dont mind the out of date templates message

2. Yes, they can stay, most the time they don't break going from minor version to minor version

3. Nope, there maybe an additional setting or two that was added, but it will let you know.

Also, I was looking in the manual and noticed something about patch levels. Will I need to install 3.7.4 regular, before I would need to install the current version, which is patch level 1?

No, you can go directly to the latest version.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
