  1. Stop the application server.
  2. Extract the new Magnolia bundle.
  3. Replace JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib folder of your old Magnolia instances with new JARs from the bundle. Also replace modules coming from the add-ons bundle (magnolia-enterprise-addons-bundle), in case you are using any of these.
    (warning) Magnolia 5.7 updates numerous 3rd-party libraries, see Java 8, 9 and 10 runtime compatibility and library updates.
  4. Remove any module JARs you had previously removed from your instances. Add any modules you may have previously added.
    (warning) We have removed several add-on modules. You must also remove some. See Remove outdated add-on modules.
  5. Add new Magnolia modules. See Add the privacy modules.
  6. Optional: Delete all indexes to give them a boost. Delete the index folder under each workspace directory: repositories/magnolia/workspaces/<workspace>/index. Indexes are recreated on startup, which might take a while depending on the size of your repository.
  7. If you customized your magnolia.properties files, compare the changes to the file in the new bundle. Properties may have been added or removed.
  8. Read the release notes for all intermediate versions for any additional update tasks.
  9. Restart the application server.
  10. In your browser, go to the Magnolia instances and run the web update.
