Hi. I have recently upgraded to RW 8.6.2 due to my prior version of RW no longer being compatible with my Mac OS version. When I launched my old .rwsw project I was informed that this was being upgraded to .rw8 and now have a project file created with the same name. The problem is that not all of my project data seems to have come across. The general format of my site is the same, but I’m missing all of my body text.  
Any ideas? Have I done something incorrectly.  
Thanks

There’s a set process for upgrading projects from earlier versions of RW, depending on which version.
