# Overview {#overview} > [!NOTE] > This section contains information on upgrading Argo CD. Before upgrading please make sure to read details about > the breaking changes between Argo CD versions. Argo CD uses semver-like versioning that ensures the following rules: - The patch release does not introduce any breaking changes. So if you are upgrading from v1.5.1 to v1.5.3 there should be no special instructions to follow. - The minor release might introduce minor changes with a workaround. If you are upgrading from v1.3.0 to v1.5.2 please make sure to check upgrading details in both [v1.3 to v1.4](https://sourcey-argocd.pages.dev/operator-manual/upgrading/1.3-1.4/index.md) and [v1.4 to v1.5](https://sourcey-argocd.pages.dev/operator-manual/upgrading/1.4-1.5/index.md) upgrading instructions. - The major release introduces backward incompatible behavior changes. It is recommended to take a backup of Argo CD settings using the [disaster recovery guide](https://sourcey-argocd.pages.dev/operator-manual/disaster_recovery/index.md). After reading the relevant notes about possible breaking changes introduced in a new Argo CD version, use the following command to upgrade Argo CD. Make sure to replace `` with the required version number: **Non-HA**: ```bash kubectl apply -n argocd --server-side --force-conflicts -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd//manifests/install.yaml ``` **HA**: ```bash kubectl apply -n argocd --server-side --force-conflicts -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd//manifests/ha/install.yaml ``` > [!NOTE] > The `--server-side --force-conflicts` flags are required because some Argo CD CRDs exceed the size limit for client-side apply. See the [getting started guide](https://sourcey-argocd.pages.dev/getting_started/index.md#1-install-argo-cd) for more details. > [!WARNING] > Even though some releases require only image change it is still recommended to apply whole manifests set. > Manifest changes might include important parameter modifications and applying the whole set will protect you from > introducing misconfiguration.
