Considerations for Upgrade
Before upgrading ThingWorx Navigate, back up any localization tables that you have modified. After upgrade, reimport your localization tables.
| Follow the above procedure only if you want to modify a label used in an out-of-the-box task. If you are building a custom task, do not use ThingWorx Navigate out-of-the-box localizations labels. Create and use your own. When adding your localization labels, add them to your own localization label entity. For more information on how to localize labels, see the following video tutorial: |
