Hi MrKDilkington

Oh ok.

I have 5.7.5.2

Quick beginner question

How is a concrete5 update performed?

Will it affect the files I have in place or is it just core files that are replaced?

I've read so much documentation, but I cannot recall reading about that.

Here is the documentation on updating concrete5.
https://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/5.7/installation/...

Updates can be done through the dashboard or manually. The updated files will be located in the "updates" folder.

If you want to update manually without using the updates folder (by replacing the full concrete folder and its contents), this How-To explains the steps involved.

Did you install concrete5 through an installer like Softaculous?

Updates will overwrite/override the files in the concrete folder (core).

"Did you install concrete5 through an installer like Softaculous?"

No.
I uploaded a zip file, cpanel->file manager unzipped to dir and run from browser.

Never used Softaculous before.

If updates done via dashboard then it should be fine, no?

Updating through the dashboard is fine.

Fantastic

One less thing to concern about

Thanks for your time and help
