This section describes how to upgrade Coveo for Sitecore from August 15, 2022 (5.0.1153.1) to February 15, 2023 (5.0.1202.1).
If you're upgrading over multiple versions, Coveo has a [procedure](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2155#multi-release-upgrade) to streamline the process.

> **Important**
>
> See [Leading practices when upgrading Coveo for Sitecore](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2155/) and [Upgrade Sitecore with Coveo for Sitecore](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2155/) to ensure successful upgrades.

### Step 1: Upgrade Coveo for Sitecore

> **Important**
>
> Make sure the Microsoft MVC security update [MS14-059](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/SecurityBulletins/2014/ms14-059) is installed on every Sitecore host in your environment.

. Log into the Sitecore Desktop.
. Access the Installation Wizard (**Sitecore Start Menu** > **Development Tools** > **Installation Wizard**).
. Upload and install the Coveo for Sitecore 5.0.1202.1 package built for the specific version of Sitecore you're running (for example, Sitecore 10.2).
. When prompted to overwrite files, click **Yes to all**.
. When prompted to overwrite items, select **Overwrite**, then click **Apply to all**.

> **Note**
>
> You might be prompted twice with this question.
> Select the **Overwrite** option and click **Apply to all** both times.
. Once the installation is completed, make sure that you restart both the Sitecore client and server.

### Step 2: Publish your site

In the Sitecore **Content Editor**, perform a publish site action.
This ensures any changes related to Coveo components in the upgrade are published to the `web` database.

### ⚠️Step 3: Adjust uses of Coveo for Sitecore codebase methods

Note the following changes that were made in the Coveo for Sitecore codebase:

* `Coveo.CloudPlatformClientBase.CloudPlatformClient.IsSecurityProviderCreationAllowed`

This method was removed from the codebase.

* `Coveo.AbstractLayer.Security.PermissionsProviderFactory.CreateProvider`

The signature of this method was changed.
It now only accepts one argument of type `SecurityConfiguration`.

If you're using these methods in your code, make the necessary adjustments.
