## Upgrade VM-specific components

If you have VM-specific components installed such as the $[prodname] fork of Forklift, upgrading $[prodname] does not upgrade them. After the upgrade, install the latest version of Forklift by following [Install Forklift on Kubernetes](../../../../networking/kubevirt/install-forklift-kubernetes.mdx).

The Forklift manifests come from $[filesUrl], so the linked page installs the version that matches these docs, not the latest one. Can we say "install the matching version of Forklift" so nobody goes and grabs a newer docs version's manifests? Same on the other five pages.

I think this one got missed. All six pages still say "install the latest version of Forklift". Can we change it to "the matching version"? Not a blocker if you'd rather leave it.
