Upgrade and Migration of Content Template Catalog
Content Template Catalog 4.4 is an update to Content Template Catalog 4.3, 4.2, 4.1.x, 4.0, and 3.x. When installed on an existing Content Template Catalog system, the newer version updates existing assets and installs new assets.
Do not install Content Template Catalog into a production environment without first installing and testing it in a development environment.
Install Content Template Catalog 4.4 in a development environment that has a copy of your existing Content Template Catalog based solution. Verify that your solution works with the updated assets and make any necessary modifications in advance in the test environment. When testing is complete, transfer the modifications to your staging environment for delivery to the production environment. Plan the delivery of the modifications to coincide with the installation of Content Template Catalog 4.4 in the production environment.
