However, we do recommend you to make a full Jira backup and read this page, so that you understand the whole process and therefore minimize the risk of failure.
Backup your data
Before making a major The Scheduler upgrade, we recommend you to take a backup of your Scheduled Issues. While not strictly necessary, this is an additional safety measure in case of any migration problem.
Our app have built in Export / Import to .xml features. Here you can read more about it:
Data migration
Whenever you install a new version of our add-on, Jira automatically migrates your data to the new format. There is no need to manually migrate any data - after the new version is installed, your data should still be there.
Minor version upgrades
If you're upgrading a minor version release (such as The Scheduler 5.0 to The Scheduler 5.1), there are no additional actions required - simply update using UPM or by uploading a JAR file and you should be good to go. It is, of course, still recommended to take a backup before doing so.
Since version 5.3.0 we have introduced a new mechanism for Jira Administrators showing "What's new" in app. Now you can easily make adjustments to important changes or send notes with direct links to documentation to your users, you will see this page after upgrade:
