I have a substrate node of Polkadot 0.9.28. It is customised to enable contracts, and I have enabled the contract and runtime pallets. The tutorial I worked on is no more available in substrate docs. I have updated my Ink version from 3 to 4. Now while working with the nodejs to deploy the contract on the chain I am facing issues. I have updated my @polkadot/api and @polkadot/api-contrat packages. I don't know why the development does not work. Hence I would like to update Polakdot to a new version while retaining the features of contract-pallet and runtime-pallet. Is there a way to update it?

There are three cases according to me in your case:
- If you haven't done any changes in the contracts pallet or any other pallet than you are good to go with a runtime upgrade from
0.9.28->0.9.40using the tutorial https://docs.substrate.io/maintain/runtime-upgrades/. - But if there are some changes in your
contracts palletthan you need to apply those changes in0.9.40and do the runtime upgrade. - But if there are some breaking changes than you need to a storage migration with the runtime upgrade for that you can follow https://docs.substrate.io/reference/how-to-guides/storage-migrations/.
After identifying what you require for your case, you can once try it on development mode are make a private network replicating your scenario to test it out first.
