Just run the installer for the new version. Your data and settings are not affected, but of course you should back up your data and any settings files (e.g. cumulus.ini and strings.ini) before you run the installer. You can install the new version towhere theyou samelike, place asbut the previousinstaller version,will andoffer the installersame willplace offeras thisthe previous version as the default. Occasionally, there may be actions you need to perform before or after the upgrade - (these will be documented in the readme.txt file, whichthis will appear whenas you run the installer,). and Required actions also usually appear in the announcement of the version you are installing.

During the install, you will be given the option of re-installing the Cumulus HTML template files. If you have [[Customised_templates#Creating_Your_Own_Templates|customised the existing pages]], you might want to untick this option so that your versions don't get overwritten. Alternatively store your customised pages in a directory outside the Cumulus folder, and specify up to 10 such files on the local side of the files tab in the Configuration menu Internet settings screen and untick ''Include Standard Files''. (100 such files can be specified in [[Cumulus.ini]]).
