# Upgrading

With the CMS installed and when in the admin, you will see a button on the navigation that will show if an upgrade is available. Along with upgrading through the CMS, you have one other option when proceeding.

**Git Pull**

If you pulled down the repository manually, you can simply run a `git pull` which will update the necessary files in the new version of the CMS.

**CMS Upgrade**

Otherwise, if you did a `composer require` to pull in the CMS, continue on after clicking on upgrade to proceed with the update. If anything failed, there should be a rollback that occurs. Otherwise, you may need to manually look at any files that changed. We highly recommend setting up the CMS in a git repo under your control, especially since running `git status` can quickly help you find any issues that popped up.

After the upgrade is complete, run `yarn run prod` to ensure the latest UI has been built for the admin and public side.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.adaptcms.com/adaptcms/getting-started/updating.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
