This tutorial will explain how you can upgrade your Joomla website to the latest version.

We strongly recommend that you create a backup of your website before you start Joomla update.

1)Log into Joomla! admin.

2) Joomla will automatically start looking for updates at its official repository. If there is new version available, you will get the notification right in your admin panel. Just click on "Update now" and go to the next step.

After you clicked on the button you will be redirected to the Joomla update page. Here, you will find the information about your current Joomla version and the latest one you will be upgrading to, the updated URL and the installation method. You shouldn't make any changes there, the upgrading process will go by default and all have to be fine!
