How to check what version of Koha your system is on

Koha is an open source library management system, which means new functions and features are often added to the system. These functions and features are included in newer releases of the program and as such, from time to time, a system will be upgraded to reflect these changes. This information can be important for diagnosing and suggesting solutions to issues raised about Koha. If a function or feature does not appear to be working, it may be because it is not available on certain versions of Koha and the solution may be to upgrade to a newer version. This is particularly important when researching issues on Bugzilla because any solutions added there will include information about which versions of Koha said solution will appear on.

How to find the version of Koha the system is on

Go to the Koha homepage and click on the About Koha module.


This module should appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. 

This module holds a table with multiple tabs containing information about the  Koha server. In the first tab called Server Information there is a cell for Koha version. This is where the version of Koha the site is running on is kept.
