When upgrading a node running locally to index $DOGE on-chain data, the step most likely to go wrong is replacing the files—not the new features.
Before you begin, make sure you have the official release. The download package includes the file size and SHA-256 hash; if they don’t match, don’t proceed.
Once verification passes, replace the files while the app is safely shut down, then restart it. If the new version won’t start, it will automatically restore the previous version.
Why doesn’t the data move along with it? The wallet and data folder are stored separately from the app itself, so only the program files are replaced. You can also change the data folder’s location in Settings. Even after you close the window, the app continues indexing in the background.
The whole process addresses the same concern: if an upgrade fails, the cost should be no more than one restart.

Risk warning: Software upgrades and local data involve risks. You need to verify the source yourself.
