Another option is to restore the Main.WebHome and/or Dashboard.WebHome after the update via the page history to the version before the update. As these are "content only" pages, I do not expect that a rollback to the version before the upgrade will break something.
Then, backups before an upgrade are always a good idea Cheers Clemens ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Eduard Moraru Am: Thursday, 23.06.2016, 11:07 An: Xwiki Users Betreff: Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki 8.2 Milestone 2 released > Hi, > > Depends where you did your customizations.
