{% infobubble(mode="info", title="⚠ Please note") %} Downgrading is currently not supported!

It is not safe to install a previous version, because the database will most likely not be compatible. Therefore, it is recommended to take a backup of the database before upgrading. {% end %}

Should something not work out as expected, you need to restore the backup and then go back to the previous version.

If you need to downgrade after running for a while, create an issue or meet on matrix/gitter. We should be able to find a way.
