Update/Upgrade Instructions

I have been working on a project in V 4.22 (on UE 4.27) and would like to upgrade my project to 4.23.1 and migrate to EU5P - I have modified some parts of the blueprints that come with the plugin (CharacterBP, AnimBP, etc) and dont want to lose them. Is there a way that I can upgrade this plugin without overwriting the changes I've made?

Git shows that my altered files are as follows:

One solution for the blueprint might be comparing latest version with the version that your blueprint is based on, manually add those diff to your blueprint.

For other assets, try comparing it with text diff tool, and hopefully could find the diff and merge it.

What I ended up doing was:

While project was still on UE4:

• Backup project
• Delete ALS plugin folder
• Replace with new version of ALS for UE5
• Upgrade project to UE5
• Replace altered ALS files from backup copy

Seems to be working fine aside from a few minor hiccups!
