To update the CMS to the next version, you need to do the following:
1. Download the update distribution;
2. Enable update mode in the settings;
3. Enable maintenance mode;
4. Overwrite the files from the distribution on the server (replace the old files with the new ones);
5. Disable maintenance mode;
6. In the admin panel, go to the "Migration" section and complete all steps;
7. Disable update mode in the settings.
If you are upgrading from version 7.0 or earlier, before starting the upgrade, you must add a temporary parameter to the rk-config.php file:
define('RK_STRICT_SECURITY', false);
After the upgrade, this parameter must be removed.
