Hi all,

Lets say I create a child portal from a portal template, I then put the child portal live and users begin to register on it.

Couple of questions:

1 - Can I re-apply a new updated version of the same portal template (new tabs / content added etc) to the child portal?  Obviously I don't want to lose any of the user data on the child portal, I just want to update any tabs / content that has been changed in the template

2 - If I modify the child portal by creating some new Text/HTML modules and saving some content in them - and then I re-apply the new updated template, will the modifications I made to the child portal be lost?

Thanks again for your help, much appreciate.

Simon

Simon,

Templates not been thinked to the scenarios you pointed here. But take a look at Admin > Site Wizard and make some test on it.

Can it works but not 100% secure.

Hi Simon

Portal templates do not include user data so no worries there, this wil remain unchanged.

As for imprting templates on top of the exisiting portals this is possible, in admin >> site wizard mentioned in the previous answer you can decide to merge, replace or ignore the content that is already included in the portal.
