-
Go to your database manager:

Click on your profile icon and select "My Databases"
-
Click on the action settings icon next to your main database where you will find the "Upgrade" option (test or production)
In the pop-up message that will appear, you will be given the option to choose:
- a test upgrade request, which will give you an upgraded copy of your database for testing OR
- a production upgrade request, that will upgrade your live database to the new version.
-
This will trigger the automated upgrade process which upon successful completion will send you an email with a link to either your upgraded test database or to confirm that your upgraded production database is ready (on the same web address).
