If there's an update to Magisk, you'll get a notification from the Magisk Manager (if you haven't turned it off, that is). You can update through the Manager or download the Magisk zip from [[https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases | GitHub]] (never download Magisk files from anywhere else!) or in the Manager, and flash in recovery. Make sure to read the release notes and the changelog, both can be found in the [[https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ | Magisk Documentation]]. Any modules you have installed may have to be updated to conform with possible changes to Magisk.
After updating the Magisk Manager you might get a message that the updated Manager doesn't support your installed version of Magisk. Here you have two options, both involving manually upgrading Magisk to a supported version. Download the [[https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 | Magisk zip]] and flash it from TWRP, or downgrade the Manager to a release that supports your current Magisk version and flash the zip from the Modules section of the Manager. This is done exactly like when installing a Magisk Module manually, by clicking the "Install from storage" button and selecting the zip.
If you're having problems updating to a newer version, start by disabling your modules, in case one or more of them are causing issues. This is easiest done by enabling Safe Mode or the ADB command to remove all modules //(see [[MagiskModuleIssues | Disabling/uninstalling modules manually]])//. You can also try to [[MagiskUninstall | uninstall Magisk]] and start over with a clean installation of the new Magisk version.

===**Magisk not installed**===
When updating Magisk there might sometimes be issues related to the Magisk Manager, where the Manager might report that Magisk isn't installed. If you have the Manager [[https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_the_Magisk_Manager | hidden/repackaged]] you might end up with two Managers installed, etc.
The solution is usually to uninstall the Manager (or both if that's the case) and install it fresh. If the Manager can't be reinstalled you might have to do some manual work to get things working. Take a look under [[ManagerIssues | "Can't install the Magisk Manager"]] for details.
Deletions:
When updating Magisk from v18.0 to v18.1+ there might be issues related to the Magisk Manager. Manager v6.1.0(165) that is bundled with Magisk v18.0 has a bug that manifests when updating to a newer Manager while it is [[https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_the_Magisk_Manager | hidden/repackaged]]. You will end up with two Managers installed (but not necessarily, keep reading), the old hidden one and the new updated one that won't have a working connection with the Magisk infrastructure. It'll simply state that Magisk isn't installed. And, you'll keep getting a notification about an update from the old Manager.
The new, unhidden Manager will likely eventually be uninstalled automatically by the old, repackaged one, since the new one isn't actually recognised as the real Manager. But, it is also a possibility that the new Manager can't be installed at all, in which case you might have to do some manual work to get things working. Take a look under [[ManagerIssues | "Can't install the Magisk Manager"]] for details.
The solution is to [[https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Unhiding_the_Magisk_Manager | restore the Manager to its original package name]] before updating. Or if you've already updated you can just uninstall both Managers and install the latest version manually (you'll find it for download on [[https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases | GitHub]]).
