You can upgrade to **Keep on latest version** and the versionless experience no matter which version of dbt you currently have selected. As a best practice, dbt Labs recommends that you test the upgrade in development first; use the [Override dbt version](#override-dbt-version) setting to test _your_ project on the latest dbt version before upgrading your deployment environments and the default development environment for all your colleagues.

To upgrade an environment in the [dbt Cloud Admin API](/docs/dbt-cloud-apis/admin-cloud-api) or [Terraform](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/dbt-labs/dbtcloud/latest), set `dbt_version` to the string `versionless`.

### Override dbt version

Configure your project to use a different dbt Core version than what's configured in your [development environment](/docs/dbt-cloud-environments#types-of-environments). This _override_ only affects your user account, no one else's. Use this to safely test new dbt features before upgrading the dbt version for your projects.
