Check for available upgrades
When a new version of Airia Agent is available, a notification banner appears at the top of Settings → Airia Agent. The banner shows:- The current version your tenant is running
- The version available to upgrade to
- A cumulative changelog listing everything that has changed since your current version
Before you upgrade
Run through this checklist before applying an upgrade, especially for production tenants:- Read the full changelog — note any breaking changes or behavioral shifts
- Test the current version with your key workflows so you have a baseline to compare against
- If you have a staging tenant, apply the upgrade there first and verify before promoting to production
- Identify which tools, sub-agents, and system prompt behaviors are most critical to your users — these are the first things to test post-upgrade
- Check whether the upgrade introduces MCP placeholder bindings that need to be resolved (see Tools & MCP)
Apply an upgrade
Review the changelog
Read the cumulative changelog in the banner or in the Version section. Pay attention to:
- New tools or capabilities being added to Airia Agent’s default behavior
- Changes to how existing tools or sub-agent invocation work
- Any breaking changes or behavioral shifts that may affect your users
Apply the upgrade
Click Upgrade. The platform applies the update in place. Airia Agent remains available to users throughout the upgrade — there is no downtime.
