Upgrade Notes

As part of the security update we have made changes to Confluence functionality, including some parts of the Administration Console. Please refer to the security advisory for a summary of changed behaviour. We have updated the documentation where relevant.

Upgrade Procedure

If you are already running a version of Confluence, please follow these instructions to upgrade to the latest version:

  1. Before you upgrade, we strongly recommend that you back up your Confluence Home directory and database.
    The Confluence Home directory is the folder where Confluence stores its configuration information, search indexes and page attachments. If you're using the embedded HSQLDB database supplied for evaluation purposes, the database files are also stored in this directory.
    Tip: Another term for 'Home directory' would be 'data directory'.
    Read more about finding your Home directory.
  2. If your version of Confluence is earlier than 3.2, read the release notes and upgrade guides for all releases between your version and the latest version. In particular:
  3. Download the latest version of Confluence.
  4. Follow the instructions in the Upgrade Guide.
