FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade Next.js to the latest version without breaking my App Router application?▼

Upgrading Next.js requires inspecting package versions, applying automated codemods for breaking changes, aligning peer dependencies like React, and running post-upgrade build validations to ensure your App Router application remains functional.

What are codemods and how do they help with Next.js migration?▼

Codemods are automated code transformation tools that apply official migration fixes before manual adjustments, reducing friction and resolving breaking changes automatically when you upgrade Next.js across major releases like 13, 14, 15, and 16.

Can I use an automated process to jump major versions in a Next.js and React project?▼

Yes, you can upgrade Next.js across major version jumps by following a guided migration path that selects the official upgrade route, updates React and React DOM peer dependencies, and executes necessary codemods for the target release.

How do I validate a Next.js project after a major version upgrade?▼

You validate a Next.js upgrade by running post-migration build checks and runtime tests, confirming that the App Router and core dependencies remain functional and that no breaking changes were missed during the codemod execution phase.

What is the best way to handle peer dependency alignment when upgrading Next.js?▼

The best way to handle peer dependency alignment during a Next.js upgrade is to inspect the project manifest for current React versions and update them alongside Next.js to match the official requirements for your target release.
