# Update an existing Microsoft Teams app

After [setting up your Totara app for Microsoft Teams](/19/docs/set-up-the-microsoft-teams-integration) for the first time, you may later need to make various updates to it.

You will need to download and reupload the manifest file if you are:

- Updating your app
- Making changes to the app name, description, or icon
- Adding language packs/strings
- Making changes to the language packs/strings

When you are creating a new manifest file you need to ensure that you update the app version number in the SemVer format, e.g. 1.0.0 to 1.0.1.

Once you have made the required updates, click **Save** and go to the Totara app installation settings.

1. Go to *Team admin settings > Manage apps* ([https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/manage-apps](https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/manage-apps)).
2. Search for your app and select it.
3. Click **Update**.
4. Select the downloaded **manifest.zip** file.
5. If Microsoft Teams says the app already exists, you should keep increasing the version number, redownload and reupload a manifest file.

Please note that it can take up to 30 minutes for the app to update for all users, and may require restarting the app.
