Automatic upgrade

PrestaShop introduced automatic upgrade in version 1.4.4 and 1.4.4.1, which was then turned into a free module for earlier versions (starting with PS 1.3) and later versions (including 1.5.x).

1. Download the 1-Click Upgrade module from PrestaShop Addons: http://addons.prestashop.com/en/administration-tools/5496-autoupgrade.html. Save the Zip file to your desktop.
2. In your PrestaShop administration panel, go to the main "Modules" tab.

3. Click on the "Add a module" button, located at the top right of the list of available modules.

   Tip
   If updating from version 1.4, click on the "Add a module from my computer" link, located at the top left.

4. In the form that opens, click on the "Browse..." button, then find and select the module's Zip file that you just downloaded.
5. Click the "Upload this Module" button. PrestaShop will put the module on your server, unzip it, and place the files in the /modules folder.
