== Upgrading Kibana
== Upgrading {kib}

The upgrade process varies, depending on the version you're currently using.

[IMPORTANT]
===========================================
Before upgrading Kibana:
* Consult the <<breaking-changes,breaking changes>> docs.
* Test upgrades in a dev environment before upgrading your production servers.
* Backup your data using the Elasticsearch
{ref}/modules-snapshots.html[snapshots] feature.
You **cannot roll back** to an earlier version unless you have a backup of
your data.

* Back up your data with Elasticsearch {ref}/modules-snapshots.html[snapshots]. To roll back to an earlier version, you **must** have a backup of your data.
* If you are using custom plugins, check that a compatible version is
available.
* Shut down all {kib} nodes. Running more than one version against the same {es} index is unsupported. If you upgrade while older {kib} nodes are running, the upgrade can fail.
