+=== Supported configurations
+
+Generally, <<gateway-nodes-selection, cross cluster search>> can search remote
+clusters that are one major version ahead or behind the coordinating node's
+version. Cross cluster search can also search remote clusters that are being
+<<rolling-upgrades, upgraded>> so long as both the "upgrade from" and
+"upgrade to" version are compatible with the gateway node.
+
+For example, a coordinating node running {es} 5.6 can search a remote cluster
+running {es} 6.8, but that cluster can not be upgraded to 7.1. In this case
+you should first upgrade the coordinating node to 7.1 and then upgrade remote
+cluster.
+
+WARNING: Running multiple versions of {es} in the same cluster beyond the
+duration of an upgrade is not supported.
