**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 5.2.1 Upgrading to 5.2.6  
My PHP version is: 8.3  
My Database type and version is: MariaDB

**Your problem**  
My problem is:

Composer based upgrade instructions seem to be incorrect.

Link to instructions:

> **[How to update Mautic — Mautic Documentation 0.1 documentation](https://docs.mautic.org/en/5.2/getting_started/how_to_update_mautic.html)**

It says that you should run this command.  
bin/console mautic:update:apply --finish

Output:  
You have Composer updates enabled. This means that you can only update Mautic through the ‘composer update’ command.

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:

Possibly I can deactivate composer installation in the settings in the GUI for composer installation and then run the command.

But there is also a warning in the GUI against doing this.

I ended up skipping  
bin/console mautic:update:apply --finish

And then I did run:  
bin/console doctrine:migration:migrate --no-interaction  
bin/console doctrine:schema:update --no-interaction --force  
bin/console cache:clear

Seems to work, but please let me know if someone know if we need to run  
bin/console mautic:update:apply --finish  
For composer installations as the manual says.
