The Upgrade section allows configuring the upgrade mechanism for previous MSI versions.

Double-clicking an upgrade code or clicking the ✏ icon opens the upgrade editing flyout view.

💡 Master Packager tip! When creating a new MSI and setting up an
upgrade for a previous version, ensure that the upgrade code in the
General Information view matches the upgrade code from the previous
MSI version for simplicity.

Repeat steps 1-3 until all previous version Upgrade Codes are added.
