## General guidelines
**Always back up your database before starting the upgrade process** by running:
```bash
docker exec -it {db_container_name_or_id} pg_dumpall -U {postgres_user} > databases_backup.sql
```
To restore from backup:
```bash
cat databases_backup.sql | docker exec -i {db_container_name_or_id} psql -U {postgres_user}
```
If you use Docker Compose, follow these steps:
1. Stop Twenty: `docker compose down`
2. Change the `TAG` value in the `.env` file next to your `docker-compose.yml`
3. Start Twenty: `docker compose up -d`
The server runs all required upgrade migrations automatically on startup. No manual command is needed.
## Cross-version upgrades (v1.22+)
Starting from **v1.22**, Twenty supports cross-version upgrades. You can jump directly from any supported version to the latest release without stepping through each intermediate version.
For example, upgrading from v1.22 straight to v2.0 is fully supported.
## Checking upgrade status
The `upgrade:status` command lets you inspect the current state of your instance and workspace migrations. It is useful for debugging upgrade issues or when filing a support request.
Run it from the server container:
```bash
docker exec -it {server_container_name_or_id} yarn command:prod upgrade:status
```
Example output:
```sh
APP_VERSION: v1.23.0

Inferred version: 1.23.0

Workspaces: 1 up to date, 0 behind, 0 failed (1 total)
```
### Options
| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `-w, --workspace-id <id>` | Filter to a specific workspace. Can be passed multiple times. |
| `-f, --failed-only` | Hide up-to-date workspaces, only show behind and failed entries. |
## Troubleshooting
If the upgrade fails on some workspaces, the server will not advance past the failing step. Restarting the server (`docker compose up -d`) will retry the upgrade from where it left off.
To quickly identify problems, run:
```bash
docker exec -it {server_container_name_or_id} yarn command:prod upgrade:status --failed-only
```
This shows only workspaces that are behind or have failed, along with the error message for each failure.
## Before v1.22
If your instance is older than v1.22, you must upgrade incrementally through each major tagged version (v1.6 to v1.7, then v1.7 to v1.8, and so on) until you reach v1.22. From there, you can jump directly to the latest version.
