Updating your instance or Jaspersoft version requires three main tasks:
| 1. | Export your repository. |
| 2. | Update the instance, to accommodate a different instance size and/or to move to a different version of Jaspersoft. |
| 3. | Import your repository into your new instance. |
After the upgrade, you'll have to re-apply any customizations you made to the instance outside of the user interface.
