Hi Jin,
you should be able to rerun with -all with the new version, and it will detect and retain any edits that you made. Of course it's always prudent to backup you subject directories in case something goes wrong :)
cheers, Bruce

Hi, Freesurfers. Last time I used Freesurfer v4.5 first, manually corrected the data, then ran the rest steps in Freesurfer v5.0. As Bruce suggested, I should rerun the data. Actually the visual check and manual correction steps have taken me one month as we have hundreds of data, so I really hope to use the previous edits. If I hope to get the v5.0 outputs, can I rerun the data with previously corrected edits? In another word, if I previously sub001 was only editted on its pial surface.In this rerun process, can I run the first stages including pial surface generation (stages 1-21), then replaced with the previously edited pial surface, then run the rest stages(21-31)? Is this acceptable, or is there any other ways to rerun the data and can take use of previous edits? Thank you very much for all your suggestions. Jin
