    To update from SVN without losing your previous work:

    1. download (or check out) new files from SVN to a temporary location and do the build there. Don’t run setup there.

    2. Copy the new MODx files from the temp location to the original site -- overwriting what’s there. The new files shouldn’t contain any config files so your config (which points to the DB) won’t change.

    3. Run setup on the original site. Your content and previous work shouldn’t be harmed.

      now, I want to use the records that I’ve in my old_revo with new revo files and new revo DB
      what I have to do??
      copy all new revo files in my modx folder (old revo) and run setup?Huh
      or
      run new revo setup from new folder and point to the same DB of old revo??
      I would say:
      copy the new revo files to/over the old revo directory and run setup (upgrade) - this because you have some very useful configuration files in the old revo directory.
