[ENBertussi]

Hey folks,

I have an install that has not been updated, the site is currently running 3.2.3 and I am wondering if there are any tips or best practices I should look at before jumping to current 4.3.3

thanks for any advice you can give.

Hello Erich,

Thanks for writing in! We would highly recommend that you create a staging site instead. The staging site is very useful because you can test drive any of the Pro 4.3.3 updates in the staging area, do the troubleshooting without disrupting your live site. Once everything is perfect, you can easily and flawlessly proceed with the update on the live site. To know how to create a staging area, please check out these articles:

Hope this makes sense.
