Step 1: Update NuGet package

In your IdentityServer host project, update the version of the NuGet. For example in your project file:

<PackageReference Include="Duende.IdentityServer" Version="7.1.0" />

would change to:

<PackageReference Include="Duende.IdentityServer" Version="7.2.0" />

Step 2: Done!

That’s it. Of course, at this point you can and should test that your IdentityServer is updated and working properly.
