If the AutoSSL option “Allow AutoSSL to replace invalid or expiring non-AutoSSL certificates” is turned on, any certificate that has expired on your server will be immediately replaced. The certificate would already be installed, so you wouldn’t need to take the procedures below. It should be noted that this option is not automatically set to prevent the feature from replacing an EV or OV certificate with a DV certificate.
This guide explains the process of adding a certificate using AutoSSL.
