+=======================
+Upgrade to Nextcloud 34
+=======================
+
+Critical changes
+----------------
+
+There are **no additional critical upgrade steps** specific to Nextcloud 34
+beyond a normal major upgrade (backup, put the instance into maintenance mode,
+run ``occ upgrade``, then disable maintenance mode).
+
+Review the `official changelog <https://nextcloud.com/changelog/>`_ for feature
+and app changes in the Hub 26 Spring / Nextcloud 34 line, and confirm your
+stack still matches :doc:`../installation/system_requirements` before upgrading
+further to Nextcloud 35.
+
+System requirements
+-------------------
+
+Nextcloud 34 continues the PHP 8.3–8.5 support window used around this release
+line. Prefer staying on a currently supported PHP, database, and OS combination
+from the system requirements page when planning the upgrade.
