# Server Side/Backend

To update from previous version you will have to follow the following steps:

1. Navigate to your control panel 
2. Open file manager 
3. Delete all the existing files beside `.env, .well-known, vendor folder and .htaccess`. Be very careful not to delete these files/folders. After `selecting all` the files `un-select` these files and remove all the rest.
