+<p>Before performing an update you should take your site offline by replacing the index.php file with a static one.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>Step 1: Update your CodeIgniter files</h2>
+
+<p>Replace these files and directories in your "system" folder with the new versions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li><dfn>system/codeigniter</dfn></li>
+<li><dfn>system/database</dfn></li>
+<li><dfn>system/helpers</dfn></li>
+<li><dfn>system/language</dfn></li>
+<li><dfn>system/libraries</dfn></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> If you have any custom developed files in these folders please make copies of them first.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Step 2: Encryption Key</h2>
+<p>If you are using sessions, open up system/application/config.php and verify you've set an encryption key.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Step 3: Update your user guide</h2>
+<p>Please also replace your local copy of the user guide with the new version.</p>
