Hello, I’m maintaining an existing application, with **Spring Boot 2.3.4.RELEASE** , **Flowable 6.6.0**.

```auto
<parent>
	<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
	<version>2.3.4.RELEASE</version>
	<relativePath />
</parent>

```

```auto
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.flowable</groupId>
	<artifactId>flowable-spring-boot-starter-rest</artifactId>
	<version>6.6.0</version>   
</dependency>

```

Now, I need to upgrade Spring Boot version to 2.7.6. I did some test by just upgrading Spring boot to 2.7.6, and keeping Flowable unchanged. Everything is working normal.

**However, from the Flowable release notes, I saw the Spring Boot version got upgraded to 2.7.6 in version 6.8.0. I’m wondering if I have to upgarde Flowable version to 6.8.0 as well.**

According to my company policy, I can only use versions that approved by an internal approval process. So if I don’t have to, I don’t want to upgrade Flowable.

Thanks.
