Default Text 'Restore'
This option will Restore all of the default language to the original default settings. The Form/Field or Section Headings, System Messages/Text, and Buttons will be Reset. Any changes you made to these will be erased permanently! We do not recommend this option unless you were instructed to use it!

Default Text 'Ignore'
This option could result in blank/missing Text, buttons, or other built in System headings/text. This should only be used if you are experienced with the shop and intentionally do not want to update the default language. We do not recommend this option unless you were instructed to use it!

Data Upgrade 'Re-Import'
This option will overwrite (erase and replace) some content and settings, with those settings and content from older (now obsolete) database tables/columns. We do not recommend this option unless you were instructed to use it!

Data Upgrade 'Ignore'
This option will cause the Format Procedure to ignore some settings and some content, from an older edition! We do not recommend this option unless you were instructed to use it!

NOTES:
This procedure will check the database, and add any column/field or table that is missing in your database, it will also check the field size and data type.   You must make a backup of your database before running this procedure. 

IMPORTANT:
If you are using a Customized version (if any of the .aspx files were edited), or if you made your own changes to the database tables or column properties, you should consult with your developer before running this procedure.
NOTES:
This procedure can be used to remove old shopping carts, temporarily stored credit card data, Incomplete orders, and credit card numbers.

IMPORTANT:
Please backup your database before using this Tool. If your database is MSAccess, it is recommended that you do your own 'Compact & Repair' immediately after using this Tool (You will need to use the Microsoft Access program, contact Microsoft for support related to that tool or software)
NOTES:
This procedure will gather and display the raw setup XML data. This may be useful if you are troubleshooting and need to review all settings at once.
NOTES:
This procedure will transform some of your existing v2.0/Standard data to work with this Edition.  This procedure will convert your existing categories and item options as well as other system fields.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND RUNNING THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS YOU JUST RECEIVED AN UPDATE/ENHANCEMENT FROM PAGEDOWN TECH. THAT REQUIRES THIS PROCEDURE.  ALSO, IF YOU HAVE MADE YOUR OWN CHANGES TO THE DATABASE STRUCTURE DO NOT RUN THIS PROCEDURE AS IT MAY NOT WORK AS EXPECTED!

NOTES:
This procedure will encrypt the web.config file located on your server, hiding all connection strings and other application settings.

THIS IS AN ADVANCED TASK THAT SHOULD ONLY BE PREFORMED BY THE SERVER ADMINISTRATOR!
