Upgrade Project

When you create a Force.com project, it's designed to work with a specific version of the server. When the server is upgraded to the next version, your projects need to be updated so you can have access to the latest features and metadata.

To upgrade a project, the connection settings for username, password, and proxy settings (if applicable) must be up to date.
