Assistance with Upgrading Strapi Cloud from v3 to v5

Hey I recently upgraded my local Strapi instance from v3 to v5. However, I’m concerned about updating my Strapi Cloud environment because my local instance appears empty, and I don’t see any of my posts or data. (I am running my website www.codinglifemindfully.com)

To avoid any potential data loss, I haven’t pushed any code or made any changes to my Strapi Cloud part yet. Could you please assist me in safely upgrading my Strapi Cloud environment to v5 and ensuring that all my data remains intact?

Thank you for your support!

You are a brave one. You jumped from 3 to 5?!?

I actually have proof :smile:

strapi --version
was still showing 3.6.11, even though I had installed 4.25.12. This was confusing , probably local and global version was different…
