If you have a project with local changes and then upgrade a package to a newer version, it is possible to merge the previous local changes to the current version.

The following guidelines should be met when customizing your project.

• It is important that you do not delete, move, or rename any Classes, Field Groups, Fields, or locators in the project. If you delete one of these items and then add it back, the internal ID is no longer the same.

• All new Classes, Field Groups, Fields, or Locators should have a name that will not conflict with future releases of the solution. For example, add the Custom_ prefix to all added items.

• Add script below the marking line that says ' Modify script only below this line. Any modifications above that line can cause problems with the package, and are not included in a merge.

• In script, refer to lookup fields and other items by their name and not by their index IDs. This is because the indexes can change and the names are not likely to change.

• Do not remove any Databases, Dictionaries, Recognition Profiles, Table Models, or other dependent settings.

• You can modify Recognition Profiles by adding an additional language.
