If an email or message asks you to upgrade your name, don't use its link. Check your name on app.ens.domains.
Upgrading moves a name from the old ENS registry (v1) to ENSv2. It is optional, with no deadline, and the name keeps its text records and addresses. If the name is your primary name, it stays your primary name.

How to upgrade your name
Connect your wallet in the ENS app, pick your names, and approve each request in your wallet.
Note: you need a little ETH for network fees (gas).
Select UPGRADE NAMES. It is on the Welcome to the new ENS app banner at the top of your dashboard and on the pop-up of the same name. After your first upgrade, a You're almost there! card below My Names shows your progress, with a COMPLETE UPGRADE button.
Pick your names. The Your names are ready to upgrade page lists every name you can upgrade, and all of them are ticked at first. To upgrade only some, select Deselect all, then tick the ones you want. Then select the button at the bottom right, for example UPGRADE 1 NAME. To check each request first, select the underlined link beside it. A name with a separate manager has a box under it, Keep 0x… as a manager, which starts unticked: see What happened to the Manager role?
Approve in your wallet. The app shows each stage as it runs. Approve each request your wallet shows; nothing is approved for you.
Check the result. When Your name has been upgraded! shows, select GO TO DASHBOARD. The name's Eligible for upgrade badge is gone, and its expiry date is 62 days later.

If a name won't upgrade, or the upgrade stops partway, see Why can't I upgrade my name?
What changes when you upgrade
Upgrading adds 62 days to your registration, once. The grace period drops from 90 days to 28, so the date your name is released stays the same. To add more time, renew as usual.
You can edit the profile of an upgraded name in the ENS App. A name you haven't upgraded still resolves and renews as normal, but its page shows This name can't be edited.
Common Questions
Why did my wallet ask me to approve several times?
The upgrade runs in stages, and each stage is its own request in your wallet, so several requests are normal.
The upgrade is finished when Your name has been upgraded! shows. If it stops before then, see Why can't I upgrade my name?
Can I upgrade a name into a different wallet?
To end up with the name in another wallet, such as a hardware wallet, upgrade it first, then transfer it in ENS Explorer. A transfer is final, so check the address.
Can I undo an upgrade?
There is no option in the ENS App to move an upgraded name back to ENSv1, so decide before you start.
