Version 7 End-of-Life

Are you already using Umbraco, but worried about the upcoming version 7 end-of-life?

Umbraco 7 will stop being supported by Umbraco from September 2023, meaning a risk of unresolved bugs and security issues. A move to the latest version of Umbraco should be considered, but not just for those reasons - Umbraco has changed a lot since v7 was released, and there are strong reasons to move up (which is best described as a migration rather than an upgrade).

Performance and stability are obvious ones, but it’s an opportunity to embrace the latest features, and possibilities opened up by adopting a composable approach to integrate other content, data and tools to deliver an exceptional editor and customer experience.
