Body: <p>We just updated our CiviCRM (Wordpress) from 5.9.0 to 5.10.4. Prior to the associated database upgrade, I got this message about having to upgrade our customized message templates. I screen copied the text but don't have the link to the "detailed instructions." </p>
  
  <p>Any idea on where I would find those instructions?</p>

  Basically you need to figure out what changes you made to the original template, and then apply those to the updated template. A tool like [Meld](http://meldmerge.org/) is useful to look at the differences and copy them. If you plan on changing these in the future, keeping a record of your changes in git also helps.
