How to update the Whonix build (WS + GW)

Hello friends, I have been using VirtualBox Whonix for several years, I have never understood how I can upgrade the build without having to delete the existing installation.

Every time a new build comes out I am forced to delete it manually from the VirtualBox console:

  • Whonix Workstation xfce
  • Wnonix Gateway xfce

Is there a way to upgrade so that I don’t lose the files and configurations I have inside?

If I try to do the procedure on VirtualBox “import virtual application” a parallel installation is created, instead I would like it to overwrite the files update

Yes.
