- **Future-proof your Testing tasks**: Xray is designed to evolve with Jira’s advancements.

### Important Notes on Updates

- If your Jira instance is already on Jira 11, Xray will automatically update to the latest compatible version after the customer selects the *Update* option on the *Apps* management area of Jira.
- When updating manually, you will need to download the specific JAR file for Jira 11.

Be sure to select the appropriate version when downloading Xray from the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211769/xray-test-management-for-jira/version-history?versionHistoryHosting=dataCenter).

> ℹ️ The [Jira Cloud Migration Assistant](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222010/jira-cloud-migration-assistant?tab=overview) (JCMA) is not yet officially compatible with Jira 11, which may have an impact on Cloud migrations.
