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. + + + -- 2.45.1
