Update your Cloud version#
n8n recommends regularly updating your Cloud version. Check the Release notes to learn more about changes.
- Log in to the n8n Cloud dashboard
- On your dashboard, select Manage.
- Use the n8n version dropdown to select your preferred release version:
- Latest Stable: recommended for most users.
- Latest Beta: get the newest n8n. This may be unstable.
- Select Save Changes to restart your n8n instance and perform the update.
- In the confirmation modal, select Confirm.
Best practices for updating#
- Update frequently: this avoids having to jump multiple versions at once, reducing the risk of a disruptive update. Try to update at least once a month.
- Check the Release notes for breaking changes.
- Use Environments to create a test version of your instance. Test the update there first.
Automatic update#
n8n automatically updates outdated Cloud instances.
If you don't update you instance for 120 days, n8n emails you to warn you to update. After a further 30 days, n8n automatically updates your instance.
