## How to Update

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Private exit node resources require **Pangolin CLI v0.18.0+** or **Newt v1.18.0+**. Upgrade your site connector before deploying.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Private exit node resources are exclusively compatible with the latest versions of all Pangolin clients. Support for exit node functionality was implemented in all client releases issued after September 29th, 2026. If your client's most recent release predates this date, exit nodes are not yet available.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Always back up your config app-data before updating. This will allow you to easily roll back if the update breaks your configuration. You will not be able to easily downgrade otherwise.
