+-----------------
+To upgrade your Polr instance to the latest `master` or to a new release, you must back up your database and files before proceeding to avoid data loss.
+
+## Upgrading from 2.x:
+
+- Back up your database and files
+- Update your files by using `git pull` or downloading a release
+- Run `composer install --no-dev -o` to ensure dependencies are up to date
+- Migrate database with `php artisan migrate` to ensure database structure is up to date
+
+## Upgrading from 1.x:
+
+There are breaking changes between 2.x and 1.x; it is not yet possible to automatically upgrade to 2.x.
