Updating your Chatwoot installation

A new version of Chatwoot is released around the first Monday of every month. We also release minor versions when there is a need for hotfixes or security updates.

You can stay tuned to our Roadmap and releases on GitHub. We recommend you to stay up to date with our releases to enjoy the latest features and security updates.

The deployment process for a newer version involves updating your app servers and workers with the latest code. Most updates would involve database migrations as well which can be executed through the following Rails command.

bundle exec rails db:migrate

The detailed instructions can be found in respective deployment guides.
