Upgrade from v5 to v6

Enhanced Security

Get better security with Statamic v6. It has strong features like built-in two-factor authentication and safe sessions for important tasks. Keep your content and users safe with these built-in security tools, giving you peace of mind.

Advanced Content Control

Manage content easily with features like adjustable thumbnails and automatic template code creation. These tools save development time and give you precise control over how your content looks.

Redesigned Interface

Upgrade to Statamic v6 for a newly designed control panel that simplifies content management. This update gives you a cleaner and faster interface that improves your workflow and boosts productivity.

Streamlined Workflows

Work more efficiently with features like the command palette, easy-to-use breadcrumbs, and drag-and-drop asset management. These improvements simplify content management, save you time, and increase creativity.

Reliable Global Operations

Statamic v6’s better timezone handling ensures your schedules are accurate and your team can work smoothly across different time zones, keeping things consistent in global teamwork.

Developer-Friendly Tools

Statamic v6 provides advanced features like the Kitt UI design system and Vue 3 + Pinia. This makes creating custom addons and interfaces easier. Plus, the new addon settings system lets non-developers set up extensions without hassle.

Upgrading from Statamic v4 to v6

Statamic v4 offers solid performance but lacks the new features of Statamic v6. If you stick with Statamic v4, you'll miss out on cool tools like the command palette, better breadcrumbs, and flexible card views that make managing content easier.

Plus, Statamic v4 doesn't include Statamic v6's strong security features or developer tools like the Kitt UI system and its updated design, which are great for running things smoothly worldwide. Staying on Statamic v4 might also make your site less secure since it doesn't support the latest integrations and security protocols.

Upgrade Statamic v4 to v6

Upgrading from Statamic v3 to v6

While Statamic v3 had some improvements, it doesn't come close to Statamic v6's advanced interface and workflow improvements. If you don't switch, you'll miss features like the command palette, breadcrumbs, and card view that help you work smarter.

Statamic v3 also doesn't have the security and developer tools available in Statamic v6, like Vue 3 + Pinia and smart scaffolding. Upgrading to Statamic v6 gives you the latest CMS technology, making sure your development stays up-to-date.

Upgrade Statamic v3 to v6

Upgrading from Statamic v2 to v6

Statamic v2 features have become outdated compared to Statamic v6. If you don't upgrade, you'll deal with outdated interfaces, slower workflows, and basic asset management, which lowers productivity. Statamic v2 also misses modern security measures like two-factor authentication and secure sessions.

Moving to Statamic v6 gives you state-of-the-art tools like the Kitt UI system and Vue 3, providing top-notch security and smooth global operations. With Statamic v6, your website will meet today's standards and user needs.
