Upgrade Process

1. Use the official upgrade tool first

npx @shopify/upgrade

This CLI diffs your project against the latest Hydrogen skeleton and applies changes interactively.

2. Find the right guide above

Match your current version to the appropriate guide. For multi-version jumps, apply each guide in order.

3. Regenerate types after upgrading

npm run codegen

Never edit .d.ts generated files directly — always regenerate them.
