Action Plan
- If you are downgrading the extension version, then:
- Please take a backup of the databases before downgrading.
- Please make sure that any dependent extensions are also downgraded as you may have installation issues otherwise.
- For example if downgrading the extension HTML5 from 2.0.10 to 1.7.6 then the jquery extension will also need to be downgraded as it is a dependency for HTML5.
- Make sure that all downgraded extensions and their dependencies are available in the extension folder
- A new snapshot and analysis will need to be done again after the downgrade to ensure proper results
