+Cosmos SDK v0.44 introduces a new way of handling chain upgrades that no longer requires exporting state to JSON, making the necesssary changes, and then creating a new chain with the modified JSON as the new genesis file.
 
 Instead of starting a new chain, the upgrade binary will read the existing database and perform in-place store migrations. This new way of handling chain upgrades can be used alongside [Cosmovisor](../run-node/cosmovisor.html) to make the upgrade process seamless.
 
 ## In-Place Store Migrations
 
-We recommend using [In-Place Store Migrations](../core/upgrade.html) to upgrade your chain from v0.42 to v0.43. The first step is to make sure all your modules follow the [Module Upgrade Guide](../building-modules/upgrade.html). The second step is to add an [upgrade handler](../core/upgrade.html#running-migrations) to `app.go`.

The second step is to add an [upgrade handler](../core/upgrade.html#running-migrations) to `app.go`.
 
 In this document, we'll provide an example of what the upgrade handler looks like for a chain upgrading module versions for the first time. It's critical to note that the initial consensus version of each module must be set to `1` rather than `0` or else the upgrade handler will re-initialize each module.
 
-In addition to migrating existing modules, the upgrade handler also performs store upgrades for new modules. In the example below, we'll be adding store migrations for two new modules made available in v0.43: `x/authz` and `x/feegrant`.

 ::: tip
 In the following example, we start a new chain from `v0.42`. The binary for this version will be the genesis binary. For validators using Cosmovisor for the first time on an existing chain, either the binary for the current version of the chain should be used as the genesis binary (i.e. the starting binary) or validators should update the `current` symbolic link to point to the upgrade directory.
