Look for Pixel flasher on XDA , allows you to update and everything will be as you had it afterwards. Simplest and easiest in my opinion. Been using for every update

easy to folow with easy steps did al my updates without losing anything

Thanks for sharing this video. But this also means this 'OTA Upgrade Guide' from Magisk website doesn't work with the Pixel devices/ Android 13? I was using the OnePlus 7T before since 2020 (to last month) and I think since then itself I was following the above mentioned official Magisk guide to update to the latest OOS OTA's and major Android firmware upgrades too to keep the data and also the root. So doesn't this official guide work anymore?

It's hit or miss as to whether installing to inactive slot via Magisk during an OTA update will work. Some have been successful while many others have not. But if you want to keep root while updating, I would suggest Pixel Flasher.

    Definitely Pixel Flasher. Only took my 153 seconds to flash Feb update and booting up with all mod, root and data retained.

    Question, when updating using Pixel Flasher, do i have to tick the disable verity and disable verification when flashing for every update?
    If you want those to stay disabled yes. If you don't do it and decide you want to disable them later on. You'll have to wipe again.
