Upgrade jira 7.12.1 to latest version

[Dave_Lam]

Dear all,

Our organization is overdue for upgrading Jira.  We are currently running Jira software 7.12.1 and would like to upgrade to the latest version 8.9.1. The  Plan your upgrade page suggest upgrade direct to version 8.9.1. Can i upgrade directly to 8.9.1 or upgrade with specific upgrade path ? and What's difference between two method ?

Thanks

Lam

Hi @Dave_Lam , 

from Jira 7 you can upgrade directly to Jira 8, no need for intermediate upgrades.

Specific upgrade paths were only for older upgrades, from Jira 6 to 7 for example.

Let me know if this helps,
