Pull Request Review: Update upgrade instructions for Netwrix Auditor 10.8

Summary

This PR updates the upgrade documentation from version 10.7 to 10.8. The changes are straightforward version number updates across three locations in the upgrade instructions.

Code Quality & Best Practices ✅

Positive aspects:

• Consistency: All three version references have been updated correctly and consistently
• Pattern adherence: The changes follow the exact same pattern used in the 10.7 upgrade documentation (confirmed by comparing with docs/auditor/10.7/install/upgrade.md)
• Minimal scope: The PR appropriately limits changes to only what's necessary for the version update
• Clear intent: The PR description accurately describes the changes

Changes made:

1. Line 12: Updated supported versions from "10.6 and 10.5" to "10.6 and 10.7" ✅
2. Line 15: Updated target version from "10.7" to "10.8" ✅
3. Line 111: Updated installation package version from "10.7" to "10.8" ✅

Potential Issues ⚠️

1. Internal link verification needed:
The document contains several internal links that reference version-specific paths:

• Line 69-72: Links to /docs/auditor/10.8/configuration/...
• Line 79-82: Links to /docs/auditor/10.8/configuration/...
• Line 87-88: Links to /docs/auditor/10.8/requirements/... and /docs/auditor/10.8/configuration/...
• Line 130: Link to /docs/auditor/10.8/install/overview.md

Recommendation: Verify that all these 10.8 version paths exist and are accessible. These links appear unchanged in the diff, so they should already be correct, but it's worth confirming.

2. Version support matrix:
The change updates supported versions from "10.6 and 10.5" to "10.6 and 10.7". This implies:

• 10.5 is no longer directly supported for seamless upgrade
• 10.7 is now supported

Question: Is version 10.5 intentionally being dropped from seamless upgrade support? This is a product decision that should be confirmed as intentional.

Performance Considerations ✅

No performance concerns - this is a documentation-only change.

Security Concerns ✅

No security issues identified. The external links to Netwrix resources remain unchanged and appropriate.

Test Coverage 📋

Recommended verification steps:

1. ✅ Build the documentation site successfully
2. ✅ Verify the upgrade.md page renders correctly at /docs/auditor/10.8/install/upgrade
3. ✅ Click all internal links to ensure they resolve correctly
4. ✅ Verify that removing 10.5 from supported versions is intentional and aligns with product support policy
5. ✅ Check that the 10.6 upgrade documentation wasn't also meant to be updated (if 10.8 exists, should 10.6 also reference newer versions?)

Additional Observations

Documentation consistency check:
Consider whether the 10.6 and 10.7 upgrade documentation should be updated to reference version 10.8 as the recommended upgrade target, or if they should remain frozen as historical documentation for those specific versions.

Typo noticed (pre-existing, not introduced by this PR):

• Line 63: "Exhange Online" should be "Exchange Online" (missing 'c')

Recommendation: ✅ APPROVE with minor verification

This PR is well-executed and follows proper documentation versioning patterns. The changes are accurate and appropriate for updating version 10.7 to 10.8 documentation.

Before merging, please confirm:

1. All internal 10.8 links are valid
2. Dropping 10.5 from seamless upgrade support is intentional
3. The documentation build passes successfully

Great work on maintaining consistency across version documentation!
