## Breaking changes

### v13.8.0 — Database Schema Alignment

Engage 13.8.0 introduces a rewritten analytics data cleanup system and a database schema alignment. This is a **manual post-upgrade step** that requires running SQL scripts during a maintenance window.

See the [Schema Alignment Guide](/umbraco-engage/13.latest/upgrading/schema-alignment-guide.md) for full details on the cleanup changes, configuration settings, and step-by-step post-upgrade instructions.

#### v13.2.0 (Umbraco Engage) & v13.1.0 (Umbraco Engage Forms)

Introduced Razor Class Library support to serve static files for Engage, removing physical backoffice, views, and assets files from development projects.

While this is not considered a breaking change, it is recommended that such folders be removed from the project to avoid conflicts in the future.

The following folders should be manually removed from your project upon updating Umbraco Engage:

* `App_Plugins\Umbraco.Engage`
* `Assets\Umbraco.Engage`
* `Views\Partials\Umbraco.Engage`

The same changes apply to the Forms add-on `Umbraco.Engage.Forms`.

The following folder should be manually removed from your project upon updating Umbraco Engage Forms:

* `App_Plugins\Umbraco.Engage.Forms`

Health checks have been added to verify whether these folders are present in your project. If they are, you will receive a warning in the Health Check dashboard.

#### v13.0.0 (Umbraco Engage Launch)

Umbraco Engage contains a number of breaking changes from the previous uMarketingSuite product.

See the [Migrate from uMarketingSuite](/umbraco-engage/13.latest/upgrading/migrate-from-umarketingsuite.md) for full details.
