Is it possible to replace the secret key?

I have an installation of Netbox running fine.
The SECRET_KEY in configuration.py is not so secret anymore.
Is it possible to replace the key with something new without losing data?

Sessions will be invalidated, that's pretty much it.

Yep; rotating the secret key will invalidate all existing user cookies, but it isn't tied to any actual data.

Thanks!
I think that the significance (or lack of) the secret key would be good information to have in the documentation.

I found this (the update on the first post), which helped me migrate an installation better than the official documentation:

But the part about the secret key got me wondering.
