Chkk’s Approve Upgrade Template feature ensures that each Upgrade Template is thoroughly reviewed, adjusted to align with organizational guidelines, and officially marked as ready for use. Once an Upgrade Template is Available, users can add custom steps, confirm which add-on versions to upgrade now versus later, and apply internal change-management standards.

After all necessary adjustments are in place, the user marks the upgrade template as Approved for Use. Chkk automatically logs who approved the upgrade template, giving the entire team visibility into its readiness. This standardized approach reduces context switching, preserves knowledge, and promotes the reuse of best practices—enabling faster upgrades across multiple clusters and ensuring consistent workflows organization-wide.
