``sudo snap refresh nextcloud``

.. note::

Snap installs are usually tracked on a **channel tied to a major version**
(for example ``27`` or ``stable``). ``snap refresh`` alone only updates
within the channel you are already on. To move to a newer major release,
switch the channel first, then refresh::

sudo snap switch --channel=28 nextcloud
sudo snap refresh nextcloud

Replace ``28`` with the target major channel from the
`release strategy <https://github.com/nextcloud-snap/nextcloud-snap/wiki/Release-strategy>`_.

If the upgrade fails you can easily revert to the last working version by issuing the command:

``sudo snap revert nextcloud``

After a successful snap refresh that includes a Nextcloud major upgrade, finish
the database/app upgrade with the snap-wrapped ``occ`` (not a system
``php occ`` as ``www-data``)::

sudo nextcloud.occ upgrade
