Where: user dropdown > Update, or navigate to /update
Who: owner only
Current version
The update page displays your installed version (e.g. v1.0.0).
How to update
- Download the latest release ZIP from your account
- Upload the ZIP file to
storage/app/update-packages/on your server - Return to the Update page — the detected package appears with its version
- Click Install update and confirm
InvoiceScript extracts the ZIP, replaces application files, runs database migrations, and clears caches.

| Configured database | Your active database |
Manual update via FTP
If you prefer not to use the admin page:
- Download and extract the release ZIP locally
- Upload files to your server, overwriting existing application files
- Do not overwrite
.env,storage/, or database files - Run
php artisan migrateif you have SSH access - Clear caches:
php artisan config:clear && php artisan view:clear && php artisan route:clear
