Since version 10.1 we have the ability to upgrade DNN by dropping an upgrade DNN package in the folder App_Data/Upgrade. The UI for this was the change of the upgrade button under the DNN logo top left. This PR creates a tab on the servers panel to manage these upgrades.

Features

  1. List of available packages in App_Data/Upgrade
  2. Ability to delete packages
  3. Ability to upload package

@donker donker added this to the 10.2.0 milestone Oct 21, 2025

I apologize as I am a bit late to the party on this one. Would it be possible to add a web.config flag to enable/disable this feature (the UI)?

We could. I've just added an issue describing my thought process around why we shouldn't in this issue: #6782

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

I may have typed this up too quickly to make clear my hope. I am more concerned about who is able to do this - not so much that it can/cannot be done. Adding the UI makes it more obvious this is a feature. I'd just like the ability to make it a "hidden" feature and not exposed in the UI.

From the DNN tech meeting 28 Oct. Todo:

  • Master switch to block the upload function. Use case: some of our community members offer DNN with host access to customers but wish to remain in control of DNN upgrades because of potential breaking changes.
  • Roll back the increased maxRequestLength and instead solve using chunked uploads.
