I want to migrate the "saved objects" from ELK 7.6.2 version to 7.4.2 version. what data must be consistent? what needs attention? how to move safely, steadily and quickly? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/6/66d5d05f7770f32f25d61d6aea77c7bc91c69066.png) ---

Hi @wajika, Are you trying to downgrade your saved objects? ---

Yes, since 7.6.2 is my test environment, 7.4.2 is my official environment. Does the elastic team provide a safe solution for save object migration? ---

Unfortunately we don't support downgrading versions with saved objects. The current saved objects migrator only works if you're upgrading to a newer version. ---

@mikecote So what should I do？ If I upgrade from 7.4.2 to 7.7.1, can I use 7.6.2 version of "save objects"? I plan to use the new features of 7.7.X. In addition, can I migrate save objects under different SPACE? ---

> [@wajika](#): > > If I upgrade from 7.4.2 to 7.7.1, can I use 7.6.2 version of "save objects"? Yes, those saved objects will auto migrate on start of Kibana version 7.7.1. If you use the import / export feature, they will also auto migrate on import. > In addition, can I migrate save objects under different SPACE? The Kibana migrator will upgrade all saved objects in all spaces so no issue there. ---

@mikecote If I accidentally delete the index pattern, it will cause all the visualization charts to be unusable. I think this is a very serious problem (this occasionally occurs). I have a lot of Visualizations that cannot be used (meaning I need to re-create it once?). ---

I have a lot of Visualizations that cannot be used (meaning I need to re-create it once?). The best workaround I can think of would be as follows: 1. Use the saved objects management UI to export your visualizations, dashboards, etc 2. Re-create the accidentally deleted index pattern 3. Import the output file from step 1. It should prompt you to chose a new index pattern and you can pick the one from step 2. ---
