How to upgrade YouTrack to a new version Follow

If you're using YouTrack Cloud, we automatically upgrade your server to the latest version whenever an update is available.

To upgrade a YouTrack Server installation to a newer version or build:

1. Make sure your current license allows the upgrade.
2. Back up your database (Highly recommended!).
3. Follow the upgrade guide. Be sure to follow the instructions that match your installation type.

 Hint: You can track the availability of new YouTrack builds directly in the application. Check the Update Info section on the Global Settings page. If a new build is available, you see a link to download the update.
