[IMPORTANT]
===========================================
Reindex is required if you ever upgraded from Kibana 4.1 or 4.0
Even if you're running Kibana version 4.2 or higher, if you have previously
upgraded from Kibana 4.0 or 4.1, you will need to do a
<<upgrade-standard-reindex,Standard upgrade & reindex>> when upgrading to 5.x.
This is due to the Elasticsearch requirement that any index that was initially
created before Elasticsearch 2.0 must be reindexed even if it's currently
working in Elasticsearch 2.x.
You only need to do this once when moving to 5.x.
===========================================

NOTE: Saved searches, visualizations, and dashboards created in Kibana 4.x are
generally compatible with 5.x.
NOTE: Saved searches, visualizations, and dashboards created in Kibana 4.x or 5.x
can be generally imported into 6.x.
