Hi John
 
In the module definitions page there are later version of different modules available for downloading. I downloaded all the new versions at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=77052

Now I'm wondering what's the best way to install these new versions. Shall I remove the old versions first and then install the new ones?
Is it possible when I do this that I will loose the content stored in the database or is there a better way how to install new Modul versions?

Thanks,
Patrick

It is almost always safe to install new modules right over the top of old ones. DotNetNuke has an interface called IUpgradeable that allows module developers to be able to run upgrade code when their modules are installed this way.

In fact, you are way more likely to lose data if you remove the module.
