## Get the latest version of Umbraco Workflow

You must upgrade to the closest [Long-term Support (LTS) major](https://umbraco.com/products/knowledge-center/long-term-support-and-end-of-life/) version before upgrading to the latest version. For Umbraco Workflow 18, the closest long-term support version is Umbraco Workflow 17. Once the project is on version 17, you can move on to 18.

To get the latest version of Umbraco Workflow, you can upgrade using either of the two options:

* [NuGet](#nuget)
* [Visual Studio](#visual-studio)

### NuGet

* NuGet installs the latest version of the package when you use the `dotnet add package Umbraco.Workflow` command unless you specify a package version:

  `dotnet add package Umbraco.Workflow --version <VERSION>`
* Run `dotnet restore` to install the package.

### Visual Studio

* Go to `Tools` -> `NuGet Package Manager` -> `Manage NuGet Packages for Solution...` in Visual Studio, to upgrade Umbraco Workflow:
* Select **Umbraco.Workflow**.
* Select the latest version from the **Version** drop-down and click **Install**.

  ![NuGet Package Manager](/files/Qst7YqNNcNRgpjo3X1M1)
* Open the **.csproj** file to make sure the package reference is updated:

  ```xml
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Umbraco.Workflow" Version="14.x.x" />
  </ItemGroup>
  ```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-workflow/upgrading/upgrading.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
