Best Practice to upgrade nop with minor release (from 4.40.2 to 4.40.3)

Hello guys, how do you do that? manually replacing changed files? download new version and overwrite all libraries, presentation, plugins, core... etc files?

Hi,

For new updates, including minor updates, we do the following:

1. Download and unzip latest files and create into new development folder (e.g. nop4403)
2. Take database backup.
3. Copy\overwrite nopCommerce files of appsettings.json, dataSettings.json, plugins.json in location (e.g copy from \nop4402\src\Presentation\Nop.Web\App_Data to \nop4403\src\Presentation\Nop.Web\App_Data )
4. Run new website (compare against previous version and remedy any errors.)

We do not do a comparison of changed files with official nopCommerce downloads.  Should you wish to keep up-to-date then configure your development environment to work with GitHub.

Kind regards,
