# Update

How to update GridGain Control Center to a more recent version, including work folder backup and automatic update application.

To update to Control Center to a more recent version:

1. On the **Release Notes** page for the target version, verify the following:
   * Your current version is compatible with the target version.
   * All requirements are met; e.g., the Java version supported by the target release is installed.
2. If you use an [external](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/admin-guide/external-cluster.md) GridGain 8 cluster for data storage, skip this step.

   Otherwise, create a storage backup of the `work` folder for the Control Center version you are updating from.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>Make sure you use the <a href="/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/admin-guide/installation/install-binary.md">correct <code>work</code> folder</a>.</p></div>
3. Enable automatic update application by setting the `control.repositories.auto-migrate-enabled` parameter to `true` in the `application.properties`.
4. Start the new version of Control Center.

   The success or failure of the update is reflected in the log file.
5. In case of an update failure:
   * Restore from the backup created in Step 1 and run the Control Center version you attempted to update from.
   * Contact us for support.
