+[[!meta title="Can I make changes to autoinstalled code and still receive security updates?"]]
+The scripts.mit.edu project provides [autoinstallers](/start/) for
+many common web applications. As with any other application you run
+on the scripts.mit.edu platform, you can freely make changes.
+
+However, changes can present a potential issue for our
+[security updates](/faq/44).  
+Sometimes, our updater can merge changes you make with the changes
+needed to update to the next version. However, sometimes your
+changes will conflict with changes in the new version. When that
+happens, sometimes the scripts.mit.edu team will merge the changes
+by hand, but in some cases you may need to do the upgrade
+yourself.
+
+It is also possible that changes might be subtly incompatible,
+breaking your site. While we do some basic testing on updates, we
+do not guarantee success.
+
+If you are particularly concerned about these issues, you should
+either [opt-out of updates](/faq/44) or not make changes to
+autoinstalled application code.
