# How To Update YayMail

Upgrading from the free (Lite) version of YayMail to the Pro version is quick and won’t affect your existing settings.

#### **Step 1: Remove the Lite version**

In your WordPress dashboard, go to **Plugins → Installed Plugins**, find YayMail, then click **Deactivate** and **Delete**.

Once activated, YayMail Pro will automatically restore all your previous settings and templates, so you can continue right where you left off, but with more powerful features.

**Note:**

If you follow these steps to install new updates, then all your currently active settings from the old version will be preserved and restored.
