Retaining Previous CSS Customizations After Upgrade
App Portal / App Broker 2021 R2
If, in a previous release of App Portal, you have modified any of your App Portal web site’s CSS files to customize the colors, fonts, or layout of the App Portal interface, those customizations will be lost upon upgrade, and you will need to take some action to retain those customizations in the upgraded site.
When you are using the App Portal Upgrader, an alert will be displayed if you have customized the CSS styles in any of the following files:

AppPortal\Web\App_Themes\Flexera |
The following alert is displayed:
After upgrade, older custom themes/css files will become obsolete. Do you want to continue?
If you encounter this alert, click Yes to continue the upgrade, and then perform one of the following tasks to retain your user interface customizations in the upgraded site:
| • | Customize Using the App Portal Interface |
