Clutching in while upshifting

When you clutch in to shift, do you have to press the clutch all the way to the floor? Or, can you push it pretty close to floor, as long as its past the friction point? I don't want to mess up a car, but when I don't push it all the way to the floor I can shift more smoothly. Thanks.
