Does anyone know if Umbraco has plans regarding an update feature built-in to Umbraco so that when a new version of Umbraco arrives that you can update it directly from the backend interface?
In Umbraco you can´t update it directly from the backend interface. Much is changed, from version 4 to 6 and with the new Umbraco 7 they have changed the backoffice design, and it uses AngularJS
But if you should update an Umbraco installation, here are some documentation on how to do it:
I reckon that there is currently no such feature, and I understand the complexity of doing this.
I do however hope to see this feature in future releases so that it can be executed from the Umbraco Backend (possibly under the Developer section).
To me it is no longer a nice-to-have but a must-have feature as keeping the system up to date is a most important task.
This in turn also lets the developers actually focus on what is most important, to develop and make the system grow, not updating it which IMHO can be quite tedious. Everything requiring to actually connect to FTP and upload tons of files is tedious.
Well actually it was just a suggestion for future releases, I hope to see this in a roadmap sometime soon.
Update like WordPress?
Hi everybody,

Hi Scott.

But if you should update an Umbraco installation, here are some documentation on how to do it:
http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/upgrading/general Or if you should upgrade from a specific version to another. http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/upgrading/version-specific
So upgrading a Umbraco installation would be a developer task.
Hope this helps,
