# Upgrade Guide

Please refer to the following sections for complete information regarding the upgrade procedures for both the server and client.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Pre-update testing**\
It is advisable to conduct comprehensive pre-deployment testing of any updates within a controlled staging or development environment prior to their production deployment.\
This proactive approach will help mitigate the risk of encountering unforeseen issues.

**Update procedure: client - server**

Please update the helmut client on every workstation in advance.\

You might run into compatibility issues if you update the helmut server first as the client might lack of some dependencies which have been introduced as part of new features/changes.
