# How to Update

Use this guide when updating `rcore_dealership` to a newer version.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Make a backup

Back up the `rcore_dealership` folder from your `resources` folder.

Also back up your database before updating.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Download the latest version

Download the latest `rcore_dealership` files from [CFX Portal](https://portal.cfx.re/assets/).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Replace resource files

Replace the old resource folder with the new one.

Keep your custom `config.lua` and `configs/*.lua` files only after checking them against the new version.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review configuration changes

Compare your old config files with the new ones and add any new options introduced in the update.

Dealerships, stock, employees, and upgrades are stored in the database and managed through `/dealershipadmin`, so they carry over automatically.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Re-seed vehicles if needed

If the update adds new vehicles, run `dealership_seed_vehicles` again from the server console to import them. Existing vehicles are not overwritten.
