Update to your latest minor release version first before upgrade to recent major release. A June 2018 example: a customer is considering an upgrade from 5.5.8 to 5.7. The correct sequence would be: 5.5.8 →
Artifact resource link
rangeHigherVersion 5.6
groupId info.magnolia.bundle
artifactId magnolia-bundle-parent
label $version
renderType display_only
resourceType POM
→
Artifact resource link
rangeHigherVersion 5.7
groupId info.magnolia.bundle
artifactId magnolia-bundle-parent
label $version
renderType display_only
resourceType POM
→ 5.7
Update all external libraries required by the Magnolia release to which you intend to upgrade.
Carefully look for "change" or "changes for ..." sections in the release notes since.
Because the upgrade process takes time and is vulnerable to incidents, please minimize the risk by cleaning up your system, removing unused data, reindexing everything and doing a full backup first.

Todo
Remove the SNAPSHOT versions; fetch the proper version of the properties files based on the latest tagged version after the release. This step also must be added to the doc release sheet

Tip
When upgrading Magnolia - its is always worth to compare your `magnolia.properties` file with the one coming from freshly released Magnolia bundles.
