Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The upgrade instructions select headless mode but then direct administrators to use the interactive Upgrade Wizard, which may make the documented on-premises upgrade process unusable. This should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 82-95: Update the version-comparison examples in the “Check the
installed version” step and its corresponding post-upgrade example so the
Application version strings differ, while preserving the revision details and
surrounding output. Ensure the examples clearly demonstrate that a successful
upgrade changes the application version rather than only the revision.
- Around line 268-281: Update the “Check the installed version” Step to make the
post-upgrade comparison explicit, clearly identifying the embedded cluster and
BloodHound Enterprise application versions that must be compared with the
corresponding pre-upgrade values. Keep the existing version command and example
output, while matching the clarified comparison guidance from the earlier
upgrade step.

Clarify the version-comparison example.
This step tells the reader to save the pre-upgrade version output to compare with the post-upgrade version. The example output here shows Application: bloodhound-enterprise 0.0.1 (revision 1, channel sequence 9). Compare this to the post-upgrade example at Line 279, which shows Application: bloodhound-enterprise 0.0.1 (revision 2, channel sequence 9). The Application version string is identical in both examples; only revision changes.
Since the entire purpose of this comparison is to confirm the upgrade succeeded, a reader following the example literally may conclude that only the revision value is expected to change, not the version itself, or may mistake an unchanged version for a failed upgrade. Update one of the two example outputs to show a differing application version, so the example clearly demonstrates a successful version change.

Acknowledged. See my comment on line 197. Will keep this open as a reminder to update the "after" version command output.

@jeff-matthews, acknowledged. Keeping the thread open is appropriate until the post-upgrade version output shows a different Application version.

--headlessruns the Embedded Cluster upgrade without the interactive installer UI. The following steps require the Upgrade Wizard, so this command does not match the documented workflow. Remove the flag or document the headless workflow separately.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
This pull request (PR) adds instructions for upgrading a BloodHound Enterprise on-premises instance as described in DOCS-26 (Aha!).
I tested these instructions by attempting to upgrade a v9.4.0 instance to v9.6.0. I wasn't able to complete the process because of a database error. v9.6.0 requires PG18, but my v9.4.0 instance (bundled with embedded cluster) is running PG16.
It doesn't appear that we need to document the PG upgrade scenario at this time. However, it might be prudent to hold off on publishing these docs until I can test v9.6.0 against a future version where there is no PG compatibility issue.
Staging
We no longer have access to staging builds on Mintlify 😒
But you can build the site locally to preview the changes.
