# Upgrading

1. Download your version of choice from [the official site](https://www.projectsend.org/) or the [github repository](https://github.com/projectsend/projectsend/releases)
2. Upload the files via FTP to your server and replace the ones of the older version.

That's it! Your [personal configuration file](https://docs.projectsend.org/about/installation/configuration-file) is never included on the downloadable versions, so it will not be replaced while upgrading.

When a system user logs in to the system version, a check for database missing data will be made, and if anything is found, it will be updated automatically and a message will appear under the menu one time only.

Whenever a new version is available, you will be notified in the admin panel.
