{{languages|Gramps 3.3 Wiki Manual - What's new?}}
This section gives an overview of changes since Gramps version 3.2. These changes are also detailed later in this manual. Users of Gramps version 3.2 are encouraged to review this section to be sure to take advantage of these new features.
= Before you upgrade =
# Start Gramps 3.2
# Open your family tree
# Export the family tree to the ''gramps xml'' format or the ''gramps xml package'' format (which includes your photographs and other media files associated with your family tree data). Export your tree via menu '''{{man menu|Family Trees->Export'''}}, making sure you export all data with no filters applied.
# Close this family tree and repeat the above steps for any other family trees you have
# Keep the resulting file(s) in a safe place
{{man warn| Warning |Once you open a family tree in a newer version of Gramps '''or''' using a newer operating system, you generally should not try to open that database using an older version again. As always, the ''gramps xml'' format is the format to use for the interchange of your data in such cases. There are tools to repair broken databases, but they are for expert users, so avoid needing them by following the steps above before you upgrade your OS or Gramps.}}
