Zigbee2MQTT add-on upgrade instructions requested

The Home Assistant UI has changed slightly since the original solution was posted.
I just had to go through reinstalling Zigbee2Mqtt 1.28.0-1 on HA 2022.10.4.
The steps are basically the same:

  1. Go to Settings>Add-Ons. Select Zigbee2mqtt.
  2. Select the Configuration Tab, then click on the three vertical dots in the upper right. (See Photo)
  3. Switch to Edit in YAML. Highlight all the YAML code on the page and paste it into a .txt file (I used Notepad in Windows). Save the file.
  4. Click the Back arrow in the upper left and/or return to the Zigbee2Mqtt Add-On dashboard. Select UNINSTALL.
  5. For safe measure, restart Home Assistant.
  6. In a browser, navigate to: GitHub - zigbee2mqtt/hassio-zigbee2mqtt: Official Zigbee2MQTT Home Assistant add-on then copy the URL.
  7. Once HA has restarted, navigate to Settings>Add-Ons> then Click on Add-On Store. Click on the three dots in the upper right and select “Repositories”. Now paste the URL you saved in Step 6 in the dialog box and click Add. Then click the Close button. Now – important – REFRESH YOUR BROWSER.
  8. You should now see the new version of Zigbee2Mqtt listed in the HA Add-Ons. Click on it to install.
  9. Now you’re going to paste the YAML code you saved in Step 3 into the YAML of the new installation. So, Open Zigbee2Mqtt, (Do not click on Start yet!) Click the Configuration tab> Click on the three dots> Select Edit in YAML. Remove the YAML that’s there and replace it with your old YAML code (from the file you saved). Click SAVE.
  10. Restart Home Assistant.
  11. Return to the Add-On (Settings>Add-Ons>Zigbee2Mqtt) and select Start. You may also want to turn on Watchdog and Show in Sidebar. Give it a minute or so and you should find all your Zigbee devices.
