XF 2.2 What makes an add-on upgradeable?

[user65489751]

Hello everyone,

I recently took over the admin role for ~150 XenForo Instances. The company I work at, develops a few add-ons in-house and I was wondering how to upgrade them via CLI since my collegues apparently were only using the GUI which I really don't want to do on ~150 Forums.
The Documentation only gives me this:

But that makes me wonder what makes an add-on upgradable? I only have the add-on files as .zip files and the only argument I can give is the addon_id. So I am wondering what the process is here.

Best regards,

The add-on would need to be unzipped and uploaded to the correct location to upgrade it from the CLI.

correct location

That would be the location where the old addon is?

So the workflow would be:
1. Replace old addon files with the new ones
2. Run the upgrade command for the ID of the addon

correct?

Yes.
