Upgrading Backstage

Each plugin release corresponds to a specific Backstage open-source version. We encourage all customers to upgrade their Backstage instance to the latest version alongside their Spotify Plugins for Backstage upgrades. Check the release notes to find the compatible Backstage version for each release. If your Backstage version is behind, you can use the Backstage Upgrade Helper to ensure you’ve incorporated all required changes during the upgrade process.

​
Upgrading the Plugins

Just like with Backstage itself, we highly recommend you stay on the latest version of the plugins. Thankfully this follows the same process, you can simply run the version:bump command like this: 
yarn backstage-cli versions:bump --pattern "@spotify/backstage*"
This will bump all the related plugin packages for you. As you are doing this, you’ll also want to check the release notes to see if there are any manual changes needed.
