Hi.
Upgrade to Version 6.1.2
Upgrade to Version 5.1.0
Upgrade to Version 5.0.0/5.0.1
You can edit the URL version manually and you can see each upgrade path.
A upgrade path from 4.x to 6.1 isn't explicitly documented, but it seems possible.
To follow official approach, you would need to proceed through 4.x → 5.0 → 5.1 → 6.1.

Subject: upgrading Apstra from 4.x to 6.x
I would like to upgrade Apstra from 4.x to 6.1.
- Would the recommended best practice be to go to 5.0/5.1 first and test, or is it okay to go to 6.1 directly?
- Is there any document/web link that best describes the steps for this type of upgrade and the caveats to consider for this 2 major version upgrade?
- I understand that I need to create a new VM. What are some things to consider regarding re-use the same Apstra IP or is it better to use a new IP?
Thanks.
