Update using composer

If the Admin View module was installed via the composer (check if vendor/magefan/module-admin-view folder exists), then you need to run these simple CLI commands in Magento 2 directory:

composer remove magefan/module-admin-view
composer require magefan/module-admin-view ^x.x.x
# replace x.x.x with the version you want to use
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Note: if you don't want your website to be down during deployment, try these zero downtime deployment commands for Magento 2.

Update using archive and FTP

If the Admin Panel module was installed via FTP (check if app/code/Magefan/AdminView folder exists), then follow these commands:

1. Download the latest version of the Admin Panel extension archive from magefan.com.

2. Extract archive.

3. Make the backup copy of the app/code/Magefan/AdminView folder on your server and then remove it.
