  • Contact Support
    Access our support page with the correct database already selected

Upgrade

Make sure to be connected to the database you want to upgrade and access the database management page. On the line of the database you want to upgrade, click on the "Upgrade" button.

You have the possibility to choose the target version of the upgrade. By default, we select the highest available version available for your database; if you were already in the process of testing a migration, we will automatically select the version you were already testing (even if we released a more recent version during your tests).

By clicking on the "Test upgrade" button an upgrade request will be generated. If our automated system does not encounter any problem, you will receive a "Test" version of your upgraded database.

You will have the possibility to test it for 1 month. Inspect your data (e.g. accounting reports, stock valuation, etc.), check that all your usual flows work correctly (CRM flow, Sales flow, etc.).

Once you are ready and that everything is correct in your test migration, you can click again on the Upgrade button, and confirm by clicking on Upgrade (the button with the little rocket!) to switch your production database to the new version.

Duplicating a database

In the line of the database you want to duplicate, you will have a few buttons. To duplicate your database, just click Duplicate. You will have to give a name to your duplicate, then click Duplicate Database.

After a few seconds, you will be logged in your duplicated database. Notice that the url uses the name you chose for your duplicated database.

Rename a Database

To rename your database, make sure you are connected to the database you want to rename, access the database management page and click Rename. You will have to give a new name to your database, then click Rename Database.

Deleting a Database

You can only delete databases of which you are the administrator.

From the database management page, on the line of the database you want to delete, click on the "Delete" button.

Read carefully the warning message that will appear and proceed only if you fully understand the implications of deleting a database:

After a few seconds, the database will be deleted and the page will reload automatically.
