How to update Joobi Apps?

Joobi applications undergo rigorous testing however there might be few bugs that escaped our testing like environment sensitivity, configuration issues and customizations/changes in your Apps that is impossible for us to simulate. That is why we always recommend to do a complete website backup before doing an update of your site plugins.

Joobi shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the update. We expect you to do a backup or simulate the update process in your development site before doing a big update in your production website.

Golden Rule

Do NOT update a production website and always BACKUP before making any change.

Step 1 Backup.. Backup... Backup

We highly recommend that you make a copy of your site and try the update from the copy. This way you simulate and verify if the update worked properly and avoid any inconvenience to your customers.
If your are updating from jSetup (2007-2010) to jApps, we cannot guarantee a working update/migration. We highly recommend that you contact our support team by submitting a ticket for further information.

We highly recommend to use jBackup to backup your data before doing any change or update in your site.


Step 2 Login to your website admin area -> go to jApps -> Applications.

You will see a list of ALL Joobi apps and then click the button "Check" to ensure you got all the latest update available. All updates are always free during your active subscription period.


Step 3 Update

Things to note

(1) You can't downgrade to previous version. The only way to revert the previous version is to restore your backup prior to the update.
(2) Only websites with active subscription can access to the update server.

Click "Update All" to update ALL applications at the same time or click "Need Update" next to the application you want to update to install the update individually.
