This article applies to version 9.1, which is NOT our latest version. Refer to our [http://help.bizagi.com/bpmsuite/en/sysadmin_versions.htm User guide} to learn about the current Product's upgrades.

Bizagi Version Upgrade

Periodically Bizagi generates new versions that include great new featrues and some bug fixing. We highly recommend to upgrade your version as soon as it is available to enjoy all of Bizagi's new and cool functionality.

Everytime a new version is available, as soon as you open Bizagi Studio (in the Xpress Edition) a new window will display the new version message. When a new version is available, you should upgrade all your environments, that is: Development, Testing and Production.

Note: Do not upgrade your project if you have a pending Deployment to your Production environment (undergoing as a Deployment Release Candidate). It is required that any Deployment cycles have been completed before upgrading your Bizagi version.

Note: For the Enterprise version, please download the installer form our website

When the user clicks on upgrade, the last version available of Bizagi will be downloaded from the website. When the download is finished, the user can run the installer. This will update the Bizagi version. When the version is updated, a pop up window will appear to upgrade each project.

If the user upgrades the version and projects for the Development Environment, then, it should be done for the Test and/or Production Environments (if any).

After the user downloads and upgrades the Bizagi version, each project must be upgraded via Bizagi Studio. For the test and production environments projects must be upgraded from the Management Console.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended as a good practice, to upgrade the Development Environment first, and make some tests in that environment and observe how the application behaves. Once this is done, a similar process should be excecuted in the Test Environment (if any). After verifying that everything is working OK in Development and/or Test, it is advised to have a Production Replica environment, this is not the real Production but another environment where a backup of Production will be restored. Execute the upgrade in the Production Replica Environment and make some more tests before upgrading the Production Environment. This to prevent from having the real environment offline too much time.

Upgrade the Project Version in Bizagi

The following are the steps to upgrade the project version in Bizagi Studio (for the development environment), or the Management Console (for the test and/or production environment).

1. When a new version is available, download it and run the installer on every environment, following the recommendation above.

2. Open the list of projects either from the Welcome page or from the main menu in Bizagi Studio (or the Management Console). If the project is not in the Projects list please read Upgrade when the project is not registered

3. In the list, the version of the projects, other than the one that is installed, is shown in red.

4. Select one of the projects that has the version in red, and then click the Upgrade Project icon (the one of the green box with an arrow) in the vertical menu.
