What would you like to do?
- Upgrade to latest Backstage for my RHDH version — Align deps to the Backstage version that your target RHDH release uses
- Upgrade to a specific Backstage version — Bump to an exact Backstage release (e.g., 1.45.3)
- Check what version I'm on — Discover current
@backstage/*versions without making changes - Fix issues after a version bump — Resolve breaking changes, moved packages, or build failures after upgrading
Wait for response before proceeding.
