What is the best method to bulk upgrade users from E3 to E5? #M365AMA

In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:

“I need to upgrade office365 licenses for all users 500+ from E3 to E5 . The users assigned through a security group . Can i just change the group assigned license from E3 to E5 in Azure and click “Save” or shall i assign E5 first and wait some time before removing E3 licences to ensure that no user will be affected?”
