Before you upgrade from 3.6.1 or 11.0, you should take the following into consideration.

Publishing Styles
Standard publishing styles will be replaced during the upgrade. If you have customized publishing styles, please note the following:

Customized publishing styles for print formats will be upgraded. However, they will contain bookmarks that, while they still work, have been deprecated in this release. You may want to change these bookmarks on your own at some point. See the bookmark reference in Customize Document Formats in the Publish content section in the Content Development manual for more information.
Customized publishing styles for other formats are not upgraded. Even if your customizations appear to still be available, you must delete them, recopy the appropriate styles from the publishing styles delivered with 11.1, and re-apply your customizations.
Publishing settings files saved in 3.6.1 or 11.0 will work in 11.1.
If you have created customized brands or categories, the categories will remain, but the brands must be reapplied.

If you plan to create custom publishing styles in any version, you should document your customization so you can easily re-apply them after you upgrade, if necessary.

Templates
Standard templates will be replaced during the upgrade. Any new custom templates that you created in 3.6.1, or 11.0 will work in the new version. However, we recommend that you perform a manual comparison of the old template and the new templates and re-apply any necessary changes.

Sound

The sound structure type was changed to .flv in 3.6.1, and the template sound is no longer used. Older sound files will not be converted. If you are upgrading from 3.6.1, there are no changes to sound files, and they should be preserved. Sound files exported from 3.6.1 or 11.0 can be imported into 11.1.

Customized View Settings
Any changes made to standard views will be preserved. Also, any custom views that you have created in 3.6.1 or 11.0 will be preserved.

User Interface Layout Preferences

These preferences will not be preserved.

Most Recently Used (MRU) List

MRU lists for such things as the Start screen, the open list, the last save location, and the actions performed will be preserved.

Custom Icons for Attachments

Any custom icons you created for attachments will be preserved.

Permissions
Permissions will be preserved.

Exported Content

Content exported to an .odarc file in 3.6.1 or 11.0 can be imported into 11.1.

Localization Files

Localization export files exported from 3.6.1 or 11.0 can be imported into 11.1.

Content Defaults

Content defaults will be preserved. In addition, content default files exported from 3.6.1 or 11.0 can be imported into 11.1.

Player in Knowledge Pathways (Professional Edition only)

If you use Player content in Knowledge Pathways and you are upgrading from 3.6.1, you must also upgrade Knowledge Pathways to Knowledge Center. Player content from this version will not work in Knowledge Pathways, only Knowledge Center.

Custom Reports

Custom reports created in Usage Tracking in 3.6.1 will be converted to the new Knowledge Center. Custom reports created in Knowledge Center in 11.0 will be preserved.

Knowledge Center User Interface Customizations

Any customizations to the user interface for Knowledge Center must be reapplied.
