# Update Your Palworld Server (/docs/palworld/update-server)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Updating via the Panel [#updating-via-the-panel]

1. Log in to the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com)
2. Stop your server
3. On the **Dashboard**, click **Reinstall Server**
4. Wait for the update to complete
5. Start your server

> 📝 **Note:** Reinstalling updates the server files but keeps your world saves and PalWorldSettings.ini. Back up first anyway.

Before Updating [#before-updating]

1. **Back up your world** — download `Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/` via **Files**
2. **Check for breaking changes** — major updates can change settings format
3. **Notify players** — everyone must update their game client to match

After Updating [#after-updating]

* Check `PalWorldSettings.ini` for any new settings added by the update
* New settings from the default config won't be added automatically — copy them from `DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini` if needed
* The `bShowPlayerList` key was missing after v0.1.5.0 and had to be added manually — similar issues may occur with future updates
