Upgrading workstations from Tails 3 to Tails 4
----------------------------------------------

.. important::

Before upgrading your *Admin Workstation* and your *Journalist Workstation*
to Tails 4, you must first ensure that the version of the SecureDrop code on
the workstation (which is used for administrative tasks and for configuring
the Tails desktop) is at |version|.

If unsure, you can always run the ``git status`` command in the
``~/Persistent/securedrop`` directory to determine the current version. If
the output is not "HEAD detached at |version|", you are *not*
ready to proceed with the upgrade to Tails 4, and you must first update the
workstation using the procedure described in our upgrade guides.

As a precaution, we recommend backing up your workstations before the upgrade
to Tails 4. See our :doc:`Workstation Backup Guide <../backup_workstations>` for
more information. We also recommend that you keep a USB drive running Tails 3.16
