 +This plugin performs an update of the wiki to a new version when such is released. Admins can't help but know when there has been a new release as a warning alerting them is then displayed at the top of every wiki page when they are signed in.
 +
 +Before running, it is a good practice to mirror the wiki onto a locally-stored copy as a backup. Also, check first for any new update to the plugin. If so, it may prevent problems after updating the plugin to then exit and re-enter the Admin page before running it.
 +
 +The plugin is located under ''Additional Plugins > Wiki Upgrade'' on the Admin page and listed as "DokuWiki Upgrade Plugin" toward the end of the ''Extension Manager'' page.
 +
 +It's simple to run, leading the admin through the steps of the process like a wizard.
