Make an "add-on" domain the primary domain in cPanel

I restored a client's cpanel backup onto my server. They had two domains on this cPanel account. The primary domain is hosted elsewhere, but the add-on domain is hosted on my server.

Is there an easy way to eliminate the primary domain and "upgrade" the add-on domain to the primary position?

Thank you.

> You can just ensure your Document Root folder is pointing correctly for this add-on domain.If you not sure, can ask Hosting Support to guide you further for this changes. https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/domains/addon-domains/
In WHM you have the option to convert an addon domain to a primary domain.

Once this is done, delete your old Cpanel hosting.

@yujin Boby: I can't make a primary domain if that particular domain already exists as an addon domain.
