== Upgrade {kib}

Depending on the {kib} version you're upgrading from, the upgrade process to {version}
varies. The following upgrades are supported:
You can always upgrade to the latest patch release or from one minor version
to another within the same major version series.

* Between minor versions
* From 5.6 to 6.8
* From 6.8 to {prev-major-version}
* From {prev-major-version} to {version}
ifeval::[ "{version}" != "{minor-version}.0" ]
* From any version since {minor-version}.0 to {version}
endif::[]
For major version upgrades:

The following table shows the recommended upgrade paths to {version}.
. Upgrade to the last minor version released before the new major version.
. Use the Upgrade Assistant to determine what changes you need to make before the major version upgrade.
. When you've addressed all the critical issues, upgrade {es} and then upgrade {kib}.

IMPORTANT: You can upgrade to pre-release versions of 8.0 for testing,
but upgrading from a pre-release to the final GA version is not supported.
Pre-releases should only be used for testing in a temporary environment.
