Customizing Commons

Drupal Commons off-the-shelf is a ready-to-use, open source solution for building social business community sites. Without any customization, individuals can easily create communities for collaboration and corporate communication, or they can create communities for targeted audiences like developers and customer support teams. There can be, however, circumstances where specific site requirements must be met, leading to an increased demand for customization and additional configuration tricks to “make it work.”

During this webinar, we will explore the most popular customizations for Commons, including how to deploy them. We’ll also discuss issues like adding new menu items, working with filters, making modifications to views, and more!

Ok, so I have made all these changes to my site. Now it is time to upgrade to the next release of Commons. How do I do this without having to re-enter all of these changes again? What strategies can be used?
