# 🔧 System Update

Keeping your Repair Box system up to date ensures you have access to the latest features, security patches, and performance improvements. However, updating must be done carefully to avoid disruptions — especially if you’ve customized the system.

**⚠️ Important Notes Before Updating**

* If you’re using a customized version of Repair Box, we do not recommend updating.

  Custom changes will be overwritten during the update process, potentially resulting in errors or loss of functionality.
* Always back up your entire project files and database before proceeding with any updates. This helps ensure you can safely roll back in case something goes wrong.

### 🛠 How to Update Repair Box

<br>

> ✅ Repair Box updates are simple and require no terminal or SSH access.

#### Step 1: Upload New Files

1. Download the latest version of Repair Box from CodeCanyon.
2. Extract the package locally.
3. Upload all new files to your server except the .env file. This file contains your app-specific configuration and should not be replaced.

1. Visit the following URL in your browser:

```
https://yourdomain.com/install.php
```

1. (Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain.)
2. The system will automatically:
   * Validate all required PHP extensions
   * Migrate the database structure
   * Clear all caches (config, routes, views)

### ✅ After Update
