When you upgrade or unpack your briefcase, new templates and custom lists are automatically merged with your existing lists and templates. Your customizations and templates are stored in your user.pref file on your computer. If you have set up your user preferences exactly how you want them and do not want any additions, you can back up your user.pref file and import it into Medscape Encounter after the upgrade is complete. It's a good idea to back up your user.pref file on a regular basis. Read our What's New section to find out what additional templates and clinical content we've added in this release.

If your site has proxy server in addition to the firewall, you may need to modify your proxy settings. Read the complete instructions .
