    2. Also take a look at Upgrade/Downgrade Considerations (or equivalent docs applicable to your version) to make sure you understand all potential changes the PAN-OS release might introduce.

  2. Check for new PAN-OS releases:

    • On the firewall: Select Device, then Software and Check Now for the firewall to check with the Palo Alto Networks Update Server for new PAN-OS release versions.

    • On the support portal: Go to support.paloaltonetworks.com and, on the left menu bar, select Updates, then Software Updates. Download and save the release you want to use to upgrade the firewall.
