15 | 16 | ## Installation |
16 | 17 | ### Upgrading |
17 | | -Back up your package config (either by **Backup Configs** on the Start page, or by saving the XML on **Refloat Cfg**). |
18 | | - |
19 | | -If upgrading from Refloat 1.1 to 1.2, an automatic config restore dialog should pop up. Confirm it to restore. This is the preferred way to update the config from now on, as it will also migrate any changed options to the new version. Other methods of restoring the config will not do that. |
| 18 | +Back up your package config just in case (either by **Backup Configs** on the Start page, or by saving the XML on **Refloat Cfg**). |
20 | 19 |
|
21 | | -In case the automatic config restore fails, restore it the traditional way and please report the issue, so that it can be fixed. |
| 20 | +Unless upgrading from 1.0, an automatic config restore will pop up, confirm it. If this fails, restore the manual backup. |

23 | 22 | ### Fresh Installation |
24 | 23 | If doing a fresh board installation, you need to do the **motor** and **IMU** calibration and configuration. If you install the package before that, you need to disable the package before running the **motor** _calibration_ and re-enable it afterwards. |
