Keeping your Xperience by Kentico project up to date is quick and straightforward. Whether you’re applying a hotfix or adding new features delivered in the latest refresh, the process requires only a few steps.

Watch a short demo that walks you through updating an Xperience by Kentico project between minor versions (for example, 30.8.0 → 30.9.2). You will see the end-to-end flow in Visual Studio and the command line; plus, a straightforward way you can automate the update using a PowerShell script.

What the video shows:

  • Updating all Xperience by Kentico NuGet packages.
  • Running the database update CLI command dotnet run --kxp--update.
  • Verifying the version in the Xperience administration.
  • (Optional) Automating update process with a lightweight PowerShell script that updates the packages and database.

For detailed, step-by-step instructions, see Update Xperience by Kentico projects.

Before you run the update of your Xperience by Kentico project, you need to disable CI in the Settings application. Remember to re-enable CI when you complete the project update.

You can find a sample of the PowerShell script in the Training Guides repository. (Please note that disabling and re-enabling CI is a part of this script.)

If you want to find out more about other options for updating your Xperience project, check out the Kentico Xperience Manager project. (Please note this project runs under the Kentico labs mode which means Kentico provides only limited support.)
