Upgrade Level Up XP

Upgrade XP by itself, or upgrade XP and XP+ together when both are installed.

Before you upgrade

Read the upgrade notes for any extra steps and the release notes for details about each version.

Get the updates

Plugin	Code name	How to obtain
XP (required)	block_xp	Download the ZIP file from the Level Up website, CAMP, or the Moodle plugins directory. You can also use the Git method below.
XP+ (if installed)	local_xp	Download local_xp.zip from your licence download link. If you lost the link, use the licence recovery tool. Your licence determines which versions you can download.

warning

If you use XP+, obtain updates for both plugins before you start. XP and XP+ must have the same major version. Do not continue the Moodle upgrade until you update the files for both plugins.
