Backing up your work locally or in File Management
- This is an extremely important step and best practice we recommend to all of our clients creating and editing content in Global Admin (GA)
- Recommendation: Download the .inc file you want to edit (twice) and rename one of them something similar to "home.inc_17Nov20_CB"
- Make sure to upload this backed-up file as well as your (new) home.inc file just in case you ever need to revert.
