## Upgrading
There are two ways to upgrade a TemplateVM. The easiest way is to [install] the new Debian TemplateVM next to the Debian TemplateVM you are currently using. Then redo all desired template modifications, and switch everything that was set to the old template to the new template.To make this process as efficient as possible, document modifications to your TemplateVMs in a text file. If you do not have this documentation yet, open a terminal in the old Debian TemplateVM, and use the `history` command. (There is currently no other way to gain a list of explicitly installed packages. Methods like `apt list --installed`, `dpkg -l` and `aptitude search '~i!~M'` all include packages that have been installed as dependencies.)
