### Overview

When upgrading to v2.0+ from an earlier version of the app, to help you manage the impact on your users caused by scheduled maintenance periods, a pre-upgrade data check process is provided to

- Validate that the upgrade can be undertaken
- Provide an indication of the time required for the upgrade
- Identify any upgrade errors for specific pages in each space

If the pre-upgrade check for a space fails, a downloadable support package is created to allow the validation checks to be reviewed.

To ensure that the document activity data upgrade is complete and accurate, you need to enable **Read Only Mode **in your data center instance.
