# Compatibility matrices

This document provides information about the cross-version compatibility of the main components of the Nexthink platform.

## Collector compatibility and support <a href="#compatibilitymatrices-nexthinkinfinity" id="compatibilitymatrices-nexthinkinfinity"></a>

Nexthink is dedicated to delivering the best user experience by keeping our software up-to-date and secure. To uphold this commitment, we follow a structured product support lifecycle. We support the last six Major versions of Cloud Collectors, each receiving support for at least six months. Bug fixes are exclusively applied to the current Major version.

We recommend staying on the latest Collector version to benefit from the latest features, improvements, and security updates. Read the [Collector management](/platform/user-guide/administration/system-configuration/collector-management.md) documentation for more information about collector deployment and updates.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/configuring_nexthink/before-you-begin/compatibility-matrices.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
