Any gotchas upgrading Confluence from 6.7.1 to 6.9.1?

[Christopher Martin]

Greetings-

As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid any pitfalls since I'm fairly downlevel.  I'm also still on the built-in database since we only have 25 users.

Other than following the documented upgrade info, does anyone have other suggestions/lessons learned?

Thanks.

Hi, I recently upgraded a large instance from 5.8.17 to 6.9.0 and other than making sure all plugins were upto date and adding extra configs to support symphony, it went well.

A few plugins we use were marked as 'incompatible, request update' and we did, all but one plugin are now upto date (Compatability Macros is still waiting).

ensure you have backups so you can roll back if required.
