Is it possible to update my X5 Evolution V12 to V17? Can anybody tell me what kind of problems I can expect? Is it simply importing project.iwprj ? With former updates I had some serious problems which I had to correct by hand. As I have more and large projects, I like to be informed on before hand.
Any reaction will be welcome. Regards, HansB

Hans, in V12 go to step 5 export. This will create an iwzip file.
Even if you choose not to move forward to v17, you should do this often, it is a reliable backup of your whole project ( unlike the built in backup).
Purchase v17 and select import.
Your site should look substantially the same, but much has changed.
You will have far more control and flexibility with menus (they can now be anywhere you choose). Flash will be upgraded to HTML5 because flash is no longer supported. Your text in headers and footers will be image replicas of V12, and in time can be replaced by real text. SEO has been improved and the use of Google Fonts has been made extremely easy meaning that people will always see your site as you designed it.
There is much more, but you will have 30 days to do a full evaluation and to work through frustrations. I and many others will be here to answer any questions you may have.
Enjoy!!!
