# 2026.2 Develocity Upgrade Guide

<a id="preamble"></a>

This guide covers the process of upgrading your Develocity instance from version 2026.1 to version 2026.2.

> [!WARNING]
> If you are upgrading from a version older than 2026.1, refer to the 2026.1 Upgrade Guide and address all changes before proceeding with this guide. Major version upgrades introduce permanent changes to the database schema; as a result, rollbacks aren’t supported. If you encounter issues during the upgrade, contact Develocity support.

## Prerequisites

*   Check the [Changes](https://docs.gradle.com/develocity/2026.2/operations/upgrade/changes/) section for required configuration updates and other important considerations before starting the upgrade process.
