How to I upgrade to Jira Portfolio 2.5 on my server instance

[Ian Rees]

I have Jira Portfolio 2.4 installed on a Digital Ocean droplet and I have seen emails saying 2.5 is available.  I've searched around the various menu options but can't see how to upgrade. any help appreciated

Hi @Ian Rees

Log in as Administrator in JIRA, navigate to the Admin section of your JIRA instance (not Portfolio), locate the 'Add-ons' section.

the quickest way to do this is just type g+g and in the dialog that appears type 'Manage add-ons'. It will bring you there right away.

In the list of your installed add-ons, locate 'Portfolio for JIRA' and click the blue update button:

An alternative would be to first download version 2.5 from the Atlassian Marketplace (located here) and upload it through the same Manage add-ons page. The first option will be quicker, though.
