Please re-read the release notes. There are SOME users who will want to revert to the backup. NOBODY is required to do so. It is entirely OPTIONAL.

There are three types of errors that occurred during the upgrade process, and those errors each apply to a subset of users. For those users, it is likely that they will want to start with the backup so that all the content they put into place PRIOR to the build 201 gets correctly upgraded. For most of those users, it's highly likely they have not been using Realm Works the past few days, since they've already recognized and reported the problems to us.

If you didn't use the mechanisms that had upgrade problems, or if you don't mind the ramifications of those errors, then there is NO reason to revert to the backup. It sounds like you fall into this group, in which case you can continue to move forward with all your changes and it's no problem. Just be aware that, if you happened to use any of the features where there were problems, your data has been impacted and you may experience annoyances down the line.

If you aren't sure whether any of the upgrade problems affect you, then please re-read the release notes. All three of the potential problems are listed at the top of the bug fix list and each is clearly flagged with as "[Restore Needed]". Within the description of each fix is an explanation of what capabilities were impacted so that users can make their own assessment of whether they wish to revert to the backup.

If you have not made significant changes to your content this week, then we encourage you to revert to the backup as a purely precautionary step. However, the choice is ultimately up to you.
