  <Accordion title="How do I upgrade Powersheet to a new version?">
    Upgrading Powersheet follows the standard Polarion server extension upgrade process. Download the new version from Nextedy, replace the extension files on your Polarion server, and restart the server. After restart, verify the installation through **Administration > Nextedy POWERSHEET > Setup**. Your existing data models and sheet configurations stored in SVN are preserved during the upgrade.

    See [Installing Powersheet](/powersheet/getting-started/installation) for the full installation procedure.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will my existing configurations work after an upgrade?">
    Data model and sheet configuration YAML files are stored in the Polarion SVN repository and are not modified during a Powersheet upgrade. The data model includes a `$version` field for schema compatibility checking, which allows Powersheet to handle older configuration formats. In most cases, existing configurations continue to work without changes.

    <Warning>
      **Breaking changes**

      Always review the release notes for any breaking changes to YAML schema, property names, or deprecated features before upgrading in production.
    </Warning>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to update my license after upgrading?">
    License requirements may change between major versions. After upgrading, open **Administration > Nextedy POWERSHEET > License** and confirm that no warning or error banner appears on the license page. If a warning or error banner is displayed, contact Nextedy support for an updated license file. See [Licensing FAQ](/powersheet/faq/licensing) for details on license statuses.
