title: Upgrading from Redactor 2.x
33
---

5-
When upgrading from 2.x, expect a new and refreshed editor.
5+
When upgrading from 2.x, expect a new and refreshed editor. Many features will be familiar, but some have also been removed or operate differently now. And of course, there's a lot of new features for you to use as well.

7-
Most of your configuration will be automatically converted to the new configuration sets, but some features have been dropped or work different now.

## First Upgrade
88

9-
It's worthwhile considering to start fresh, rather than trying to recreate an exact 2.x setup, to make the most of what's new. At the very least, take a good tour of the new configuration sets to see what Redactor 3 can do.
9+
During the first upgrade to Redactor 3, your v2 system settings will automatically be converted into a [configuration set](../Configuration_Sets) named "Imported from Redactor 2".

[Start with the Quickstart](../Quickstart) to learn what Redactor 3 is all about.
11+
This imported set will be as close as a match to your old configuration as possible, but keep in mind not every old setting has a new option.

If you're missing features from 2.x, please let us know.

**Your imported set is not automatically enabled.** Navigate to Extras > Redactor Configuration to find it. Open it and make sure it was properly imported and works the way you expect it to.
14+
15+
When all looks good, you can enable it from either the configuration sets grid (right click it in the list) or [the system settings](../Usage/Content).
16+
17+
**Important:** downgrading from 3 to 2 is **not supported**. If you're not sure yet if you want to start using Redactor 3 right away, start by upgrading on a development site and only upgrade production when you're happy.
18+
19+
Old system settings from v2, with a few exceptions, are removed on the first upgrade to v3.
20+
21+
## Tip: start fresh
22+
23+
While the automatic import is useful, we do recommend configuring Redactor 3 from scratch. Take a good tour of the new configuration sets to find out what Redactor 3 can do and use this as an opportunity to refresh your configuration.

[The Redactor 3 Quickstart](../Quickstart) takes you through the highlights.

## Dropped or changed features

Please note this list may be incomplete

31+
- Allowed/denied tags and cleanup in general works differently now. See the Cleanup tab for details of what you can configure in v3.
32+
- The image float margin from v2 has changed. Previously you would set a margin for left and right floats separately, in v3 you set a single margin (in the Media tab) which will automatically be applied to the right side of the image.
33+
- Source code highlighting with Ace is no longer supported. Only Codemirror is now available (enabled by default).
34+
- The syntax for some plugins (like Clips) has changed. In most cases these will be automatically converted by the configurator. See the configurator for details.
35+
- Changing the available colors for the fontcolor plugin is no longer supported.
36+

The following custom plugins are no longer supported. Let us know if you think we should rebuild them for v3.
