+### Skip version
+
+Administrators now have the ability to specify which OpenPanel versions to skip during updates by modifying the `/etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions` file.
+
+This feature proves handy when manually updating from an older version and wishing to skip certain intermediate versions.
+
+For instance, if a user is updating from OpenPanel 0.1.3 with autopatches disabled, the update process would typically progress from 0.1.4 to 0.1.5, then to 0.1.6, and finally to the latest version, 0.1.7.
+
+However, if there are minimal differences between versions 0.1.4 and 0.1.5, an admin can opt to skip version 0.1.4 by appending it to the `/etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions` file:
+
+```bash
+echo 0.1.4 >> /etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions
+```
+
+Consequently, during the update procedure, specified version 0.1.4 will be skipped.
+
+It's worth noting that while skipping versions is possible, it's generally not recommended since each update typically takes around 30 seconds.
+
+
+In the event of a failed update to a particular version, the opencli update scripts will automatically add that version to the `/etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions` file to prevent future attempts at updating to it.
