Configuration Updates

The upgrade command performs comprehensive updates to your project configuration:

CSS & Tailwind Updates

The CLI will update your globals.css and tailwind.config.ts files to ensure they're compatible with the latest Tambo components and your current Tailwind CSS version.

Safe Configuration Updates

The upgrade process preserves your existing styles and configuration while adding any new CSS variables required by updated components.

What Gets Updated

  • CSS Variables: New variables required by component updates
  • Tailwind Configuration: Basic configuration for v3 projects
  • Component Dependencies: Latest versions of all component dependencies
  • Package Versions: Updates to @tambo-ai/react and related packages

Backup Recommendation

While the CLI creates automatic backups, consider committing your changes to version control before running upgrade to ensure you can easily revert if needed.
