+## Upgrading Nextcloud
+Upgrading Nextcloud can be a hair raising experiance. They [don't support downgrading](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/maintenance/upgrade.html) even for minor versions.
+
+Many of us  have found that jumping major versions when upgrading is also a bad idea. We have however found that it's ok to skip minor version upgrades and go to the last minor version before a major version (e.g. 24.0.0 to 24.9.9 before going to 25.0.0). To extra cautious just upgrade one release at a time. Read the release notes and check your logs.
