Warning: Downgrading an existing Discourse instance isn’t supported.

If you are currently on tests-passed or beta and you want to switch to stable you’ll have to wait until the next stable version is released.

If you are currently on tests-passed and you want to switch to beta you’ll have to wait until the next beta version is release.

Our beta versions are usually really, really stable. So, if you just want to stop using tests-passed, I suggest you switch to beta when the next beta version gets released.
