We built our restaurant website with Toolset Types, and we're still on 2.2.22. We're on WordPress 5.6. Our public-facing website still works, but we can't update any most things on our admin pages. I think I need to upgrade to 3.4.4, and I just purchased that. I understand from the tech support site that I can't automatically update (lame) and I need to manually update the plugin (sigh). I want to do this without losing the customizations that we already have in the existing site. What do I need to do to make sure I don't lose our existing Toolset Types customizations?
Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by "customizations". If you were using just Types and no other Toolset product, I guess that means you were creating post types with custom fields, maybe taxonomies, and you would be using the Types API to output the custom field values as required in the PHP templates for your custom post types.
All of that should continue to work as normal after updating.
You will likely see not one but two notices about a database migration which will be required, relating to how post relationships work and are stored.
If you used post relationships you'll notice UI changes in the post edit screens.
I don't expect you to encounter any problems, but you should certainly try this on a staging site before updating on production, and be sure to have a current backup immediately prior to updating Types. It's a huge version jump with many changes in the interim, but the core functionality you were using in Types 2 should continue to work as before.
