Navigate to Settings → Update System in the admin sidebar.

Update System

Before You Update​

warning

Always take a full backup of your project files and database before running any update.

warning

If upgrading from a very old version, you must update sequentially. Do not skip intermediate versions. For example: v1.0 → v1.1 → v1.2 → v1.3. Skipping versions may cause database migration errors or missing features.

Finding the Update File​

Update zip files are included in the downloaded source package:

eStay Admin - current_version/
  └── Updates/
        └── your_required_version_update_file.zip

Download the correct zip for the version you are upgrading to.

  3. The page shows your Current Version and Latest Version details.
  4. Click Choose File and select the update .zip file.

Upload Update File
