Upgrading Beta Versions
Why manual upgrades are needed
n8n’s built-in package manager doesn’t support installing specific versions or dist-tags for community nodes. When n8n detects a newer stable release, its “update available” prompt will install that version — even if you’re running a beta build. This silently downgrades you, removing beta features.
For the same reason, when a new beta version is released, n8n can’t upgrade you automatically. You’ll need to do a quick uninstall/reinstall.
How to upgrade
- Go to Settings → Community Nodes
- Find @mspcopilot/n8n-nodes-connectwise and click Uninstall Package from the menu
- Click Install and enter the current beta version:
@mspcopilot/n8n-nodes-connectwise@…- Click Install
That’s it. All existing workflows, credentials, and node configurations will remain intact — no changes needed. n8n reconnects everything automatically when the node is reinstalled.
Avoiding accidental downgrades
If n8n shows an “update available” banner for this node, do not click it. That prompt installs the latest stable release, which will replace your beta build. If this happens accidentally, just follow the steps above to reinstall the beta version.
How you’ll know an update is available
When a new beta version is available, the node will show a message in the output panel with the exact install command.
