Before installing, it is recommended that you make a Factory Reset or Wipe Data in TWRP. On the previous firmware, you must disable "Find Device".

dalvik / ART cache

cache

data

system

vendor

If you are already using any Masik rom then no need to wipe "data". Just wipe dalvik / ART cache, cache, system and vendor. Then install the latest Masik rom. All your applications will be preserved as they were. That will work just like OTA update
