# How to update the plugin

## Automatic updates

Super Forms can be **updated automatically** via your WordPress dashboard without the need to delete the plugin and re-upload it. Whenever a new update is available WordPress will automatically show you a message in your dashboard that you can update the plugin. You can simply click on `Update now` to start the update process.

You can also **manually check** for new updates if required. In order to do this you can go to `Dashboard` > `Updates`. Here you can click on `Check again`. WordPress will now check every plugins repository for new versions. If a newer version was found it will display the new version and you will be able to **update the plugin**.

## Manual updates

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** Deleting the plugin will not delete any of your forms, contact entries or saved settings
{% endhint %}

To update the plugin manually you can go to `Plugins` > `All plugins`. Select the `Super Forms` plugin from the plugins list, and choose the action `Delete` from the actions dropdown. Now hit `Apply` in order to delete the plugin.

After the plugin has been **deleted**, you can re-upload the new **.zip**. If you don't know how to do this you can follow the Installation guide
