QAFlow ships with a one-click auto-updater that pulls new versions directly from our servers.

How Auto-Updates Work

1. Check — QAFlow calls oyescripts.com/qaflow-updates/check.php with your purchase code, current version, and site URL
2. Verify — Our server validates the code against Envato and returns pending versions
3. Download — Signed zip downloaded to /updates/{version}/
4. Install — Extracts over live files, preserves your config.php, uploads/, and database

Running an Update

1. Go to Admin → Updates
2. Paste your CodeCanyon purchase code (saved for future)
3. Click Check For Updates
4. If a new version is available, click Install Updates
5. Wait ~30 seconds; page auto-reloads

Before Installing an Update

Manual Update (Fallback)

If the auto-updater fails:

1. Download the latest zip from your CodeCanyon downloads page
2. Upload to updates/ folder (create if missing)
3. Extract it there
4. Click Install Downloaded Updates on the Updates page

What's Preserved During Updates

The updater never overwrites these:

• config.php (your database + site credentials)
• uploads/ (user-uploaded images, avatars, etc.)
• .htaccess (any custom rules you added)
• Your database (only migrations run, data preserved)

Rolling Back

If something breaks after update, restore the backup from the Backups tab (appears after first backup is created).
