 We encourage everyone to regularly update their Sentry installations to get the best and the most recent Sentry experience.
 
+Before starting the upgrade, we shut down all the services and then run some data migrations, so expect to have some downtime. There is an *experimental* `--minimize-downtime` option to reduce the downtime during upgrades. Use this at your own risk and see [the pull request it was implemented in](https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/issues/607) for more information.

+We assume you've cloned the self-hosted repository, so checkout the version you want to upgrade to (23.11.0 as an example).
+
+```bash
+git fetch
+git checkout 23.11.0
+```

We do our best to automate critical configuration updates, but you should always check your configs during upgrades.
