1. Backup your store
It is always a good practice to make a full backup of your store (both files and database). So you will be able to redo in case the upgrade does not go well.
2. Uninstall/Delete all Agile modules
Before upgrade your PrestaShop, please uninstall and delete Agile modules from your store at back office - Modules tab
Why - because during PrestaShop upgrade, it usually will disbale/uninstall all 3rd party modules, when disbale/uninstall the module during upgrade, most cases it is not able to remove
the override classes from modules you installed. This will causes issues when you finish upgrade your PrestaShop store. You will not be able to re-install the module again or not able to installa newer version of the modules.
Make sure - all override classes have been cleanly removed by uninstallation. If you do not have any other modules installed, all override class files should be a empty or emprty class.
No wrries about your business data - when you uninstall Agile modules, we will not remove any business data. When you reinstall or install a newer version, those business data will be still there. We can not guarantee this behavior for any other 3rd party modules. you may need to contact module developer for more details if you decided to uninstall 3rd party modules.
3. Upgarde your prestashop
Once you have uninstalled and deleted all agile modules, you are now ready to upgrade stroe.
