To facilitate the process of upgrading to Vaadin 23, we have created a dedicated upgrading guide in the docs. This guide provides a list of the changes required to upgrade a Vaadin 14 application to Vaadin 23. It includes the essential instructions to follow so your project compiles, runs, and behaves in Vaadin 23 as it did in Vaadin 14. The guide also includes a further list of the changes that are recommended to conform with Vaadin 23 best practices and avoid the usage of deprecated APIs and features.
