 ### Migrations
 
-To smoothen the update to the latest stable release, the SDK includes a set of CLI commands for managing migrations between SDK versions, under the `migrate` subcommand. Only migration scripts between stable releases are included. For the current major release, and later, migrations are supported.
+See the SDK's policy on migrations [here](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/migrations/intro).

+## Pre-Upgrade Handling
 
 Cosmovisor supports custom pre-upgrade handling. Use pre-upgrade handling when you need to implement application config changes that are required in the newer version before you perform the upgrade.

+# SDK Migrations
+
+To smoothen the update to the latest stable release, the SDK includes a CLI command for hard-fork migrations (under the `<appd> genesis migrate` subcommand). 
+Additionally, the SDK includes in-place migrations for its core modules. These in-place migrations are useful to migrate between major releases.
+
+* Hard-fork migrations are supported from the last major release to the current one.
+* In-place module migrations are supported from the last two major releases to the current one.
+
+Migration from a version older than the last two major releases is not supported.
+
+When migrating from a previous version, refer to the [`UPGRADING.md`](./02-upgrading.md) and the `CHANGELOG.md` of the version you are migrating to.
