Get an overview of Upgrade Center so you can plan your upgrade
ahead.

## Key features {#uc-explore__section_ngd_lld_qkb}

One-stop experience
:   You can see all the details that are related to an upgrade.

Preview your upgrade

:   Use the Upgrade Preview module to have an unprecedented insight to an instance prior to an actual or a scheduled upgrade. You can see the estimated time required to complete an upgrade. The estimated time is calculated
    from previous upgrades.

    Note:  
    If this is your first upgrade, Estimated upgrade duration doesn't show up.
    Reduce post-upgrade review time by previewing the records that have been customized and are different from the upgrade version being previewed and might get skipped due to your customizations in the instance. You can then prioritize your work depending on the records listed in the skip list.

Monitor an upgrade
:   Use the Upgrade Monitor module to schedule and view the status of an ongoing upgrade. You can also reschedule the upgrade by clicking Reschedule upgrade. To check for an immediately available
    upgrade, select Check for upgrade.

    If an upgrade is in progress, the user is automatically directed to the upgrade in progress page.

Review previous upgrade detail
:   Use the Upgrade History module to view the complete report of any upgrade made to an instance.

    You can also view the resolution status of any previous upgrade with skipped records using the visual task board (VTB) view.
