OK Mat, that is good input for my understanding.
I shall make a copy of the latest version of my HTML file and use that to

Many thaks for clearing that up for

The upgrade mechanisium for single file wikis only upgrades the file its given
and you have to save the update and you can give it a new name rather than save

Let's say I have a TW file PeterWiki-1 and I have a copy called PeterWiki-2.
I then upgrade PeterWiki-1 from 5.1.21 to 5.1.22, and let's say it does not go
well, the upgraded version freezes, even after closing and reopening it.
If I then open PeterWiki-2 (i.e. the copy I did not touch), which

Use https://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade to upgrade.
Official Tiddlywiki plugins will be upgraded, not other plugins.
If you do not have any overwritten core tiddlers, you should be fine.
Also take a good look at the list you will see when upgrading, that should
give you a hint.
Keep a backup and go
