### What exactly is room upgrading?
Room upgrading basically means:
1. Create a new room.
1. Send an event to old room saying "the room has now moved to new room"
1. Unless upgraded manually, the client copies some state such as power
levels from the old room to the new one.
Manual upgrading means poking the API endpoint manually and thus not copying
creation event (non-federation state) or power levels. For an example see my
[matrix-tombstone-room.bash script](https://gitea.blesmrt.net/mikaela/scripts/src/branch/master/bash/matrix-tombstone-room.bash)
See also [Matrix Specification on room versions](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/rooms/)
or `CTRL-F` this page for `/upgraderoom {{site.matrixLatestRoomVersion}}`
(Element Web command to perform the upgrade).
