# Upgrading your Xibo Cloud Hosted CMS

The CMS can be upgraded to later versions to take full advantage of all new features and the latest bug fixes.

{% hint style="warning" %}
We recommend that all users should upgrade when possible to the most current release. Prior releases are supported for a time after the release of a new major version.
{% endhint %}

Request an upgrade from **My Account**, by clicking the row menu button at the end of the CMS instance row, and then select **Upgrade**.

The CMS can be set to automatically upgrade to new minor versions using the row menu and clicking on **Settings**:

![Auto Upgrade](https://2149703612-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOD5P6BGYveuzkbhjZRsq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-dedaf21f67c51b5c9d50be839f1f8ee411e342ba%2Fupgrading_cms_auto_update.png?alt=media)

* **Auto update in Series** - tick to automatically upgrade the CMS Instance as new minor versions become available for the CMS.
* **Renew** - tick to renew this CMS instance when it expires.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/setup-docs/upgrading-the-cms/upgrading-the-cloud-cms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
