# Upgrading to Xray 2.0.0

> ⚠️ **Re-indexing JIRA**
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ After installing version 2.0.0 of Xray for JIRA, a **re-index** operation of your JIRA instance is required. This is because some Xray custom fields need to be indexed in order to be searchable.

> ℹ️ **New Xray issue type icons**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Version 2.0.0 of Xray brings new icons to it's issue types. You may need to restart JIRA in order for the icons to be applied.

> ℹ️ **Breaking Changes**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ The "**Requirement Status**" custom field may no longer be available on existing Agile boards, and gadgets. This was due to a change in the custom field type. You'll need to configure the board cards and gadgets to the custom field again
