A few instances of the inline query have been posed to Support channels and might be resolved with a section regarding Version Upgrades in MongoDB Atlas:
For minor iterative versions the upgrade is handled via Automation and requires no interaction from the enduser. However, when creating a replica set in Atlas, the Configuration presents an option for MongoDB Version of which v3.2 and v3.4 are available (I believe the intent is for MongoDB Atlas to carry only the two most recent version iterations as possible selections). Similarly, while a cluster is operational one can navigate to Configure from the Clusters page and upgrade the cluster via the same MongoDB Version option. Major version upgrades require enduser interaction to upgrade and therefore might be better as a standalone Tutorial. The FAQ for Atlas does allude to the versioning process. Perhaps it could do with an update or a secondary link to a specific tutorial? An example of the process is inline: Upgrading the MongoDB Major Version
There also exists a video tutorial on this topic. |

The scale a cluster page already covers the general procedure, including the downtime pitfalls. I've adjusted the page to specifically call out performing upgrades and the downgrade restriction. |
