We are upgrading Umbraco for the first time ever (we only started developing some months ago on Umbraco) - and im not sure from the documentation if i should take any steps beforehand.
We are going from Umbraco 9 prerelease to Umbraco 9 release, so it should be a minor upgrade.
We have backed up our Umbraco database on Azure, and we are using Github, so we have all the old code. Are there any other steps we should do before upgrading the version?
We ended up upgrading the package through the Nuget package manager, then we were prompted with an update screen and it worked fine from there. We had some usings that we should fix, but other than that it just worked.
We also changed the ModelsBuilder ModelsMode to SourceCodeAutomatic, rebuilt the project and then back to SourceCodeManual which is our usual setting to rebuild all our models.
One issue we have had afterwards is that the usings we updated in views are not being updated on the Cms, but that might just be our devops doing something wrong - we had to update some of the views in the Umbraco backend to get it to work.

And then adding the Umbraco packages to the current project again with
This seems to have worked, but I'm not sure if it's optimal
