I upgraded to RW6 and all of my resources now have exclamation marks by them. My pages are also unable to have text added to them…blocks are not present. I had to create new blocks pages and then re-upload a few sources to keep my students up and running. This site is their lifeline in my class, and it is super important that I am able to resolve this!

It started with slow saving on the part of RW5.3.1 earlier today, and then my site went blank…nothing! I downloaded RW6 and thought that would fix it. I have a skeleton of a site available for my students now, and it’s horrible!

> First, you must open and save your RW 5 project with RW 5.4.1/5.4 (not RW 5.3.2 !!). [Here you can download RW 5.4.1](http://realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/releasenotes/) Then you can open your project with RW 6. Otherwise you may loose your content!
