Major platform upgrades can be a daunting task. Upgrading Appian from lower versions to the latest version cannot be done in one session as Appian has changed significantly over time, requiring a series of upgrades. The purpose of this article is to provide self-managed customers a path to upgrade their installations to the latest version of Appian.
For assistance with upgrading from deprecated versions, please open a Support Case to request any needed documentation to perform the upgrade.
