How to update

Back up first.

Back up first. Package updates overwrite product files. Keep your own changes under version control and try the new release on a staging copy.

  1. Read the release notes and compare any new requirements with your server.
  2. Back up the database, .env, storage/ and your customizations.
  3. Download the latest archive from Envato and replace the application files with the contents of its Script directory. Keep your .env and storage/.
  4. Visit https://your-domain.example/update while signed in as an administrator and run the update. It applies the database changes the new release needs.
  5. Run the launch smoke test: sign in, send a test email, publish a site, open the published docs, ask Ask AI, and if you use them, check a custom domain and a Git sync.

If the installer appears after an update, the install marker in storage/app/ wasn't preserved. If the application fails before the update page loads, check storage/logs/laravel.log, the PHP version, file ownership and the restored .env.
