| 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. |

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

| -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. |
| 13 | +**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. |

| 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. |

| 30 | + |
| 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 | + |
| 37 | +The following custom plugins are no longer supported. Let us know if you think we should rebuild them for v3. |
