Upgrading TinyMCE Self-hosted manually

To upgrade to TinyMCE 5.10 using a manually downloaded package:

1. Backup the tinymce/ directory so any customizations can be restored after the upgrade.

   Customizations for TinyMCE are typically stored in the following directories:

    tinymce/
    ├── icons/
    ├── langs/
    ├── plugins/
    ├── skins/
    │   ├── content/
    │   └── ui/
    └── themes/
   

2. Download the latest version of TinyMCE.

   • For the TinyMCE Community Version, download tinymce_<VERSION>.zip from Get TinyMCE - Self-hosted releases, where <VERSION> is the latest version of TinyMCE.
   • For the TinyMCE Enterprise Version, download the TinyMCE Enterprise Bundle from Tiny Account > Downloads. The downloaded file will be named enterprise_latest.zip.
3. Extract the downloaded .zip file to a temporary location.
4. (If required) Install the latest language packs from Get TinyMCE - Language Packages.

5. Copy customizations to the new tinymce/ directory. Ensure that only custom changes are added the new tinymce/ directory, such as:

   • Custom icons packs
   • Custom plugins
   • Custom skins
   • Custom themes

Note: To simplify the upgrade process to future versions of TinyMCE:
