This guide provides the necessary steps for migrating from Nutrient Android SDK 8 to [Nutrient Android SDK 8.7](/guides/android/changelog.md#8.7.0).

Before updating to Nutrient Android SDK 8.7, make sure your app is running at least Nutrient Android SDK 8. If you’re running an earlier version, see our [previous migration guides](/guides/android/upgrade.md) first, which will guide you through the necessary update steps up to version 8.7.

**Steps:**

1. ## Upgrading Nutrient

   Inside your `app/build.gradle.kts` file, update the version of the `io.nutrient:nutrient` dependency to `8.7.0`:

   ```diff

   dependencies {
   -   implementation("io.nutrient:nutrient:8.6.0")
   +   implementation("io.nutrient:nutrient:8.7.0")
    }
   ```

   ### Upgrading OCR dependencies

   If your project also integrates the [Nutrient OCR library](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/android/ocr/overview.md), make sure to upgrade the version of all OCR dependencies too:

   ```diff

   dependencies {
   -   implementation("io.nutrient:nutrient-ocr:8.6.0")
   -   implementation("io.nutrient:nutrient-ocr-english:8.6.0")
   +   implementation("io.nutrient:nutrient-ocr:8.7.0")
   +   implementation("io.nutrient:nutrient-ocr-english:8.7.0")...
   }
   ```

2. ## Content editing

   Nutrient Android SDK 8.7 adds the [Content Editor](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/pspdfkit-android-8-7-adds-content-editor/) component. It’s enabled by default, but if you’re using a custom layout, have Content Editor in your license, and want to use the Content Editor, you need to add [`ContentEditingStylingBar`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/android/nutrient/com.pspdfkit.ui.contentediting/-content-editing-styling-bar/index.html) to your layout:

   ```xml...
   <FrameLayout
       android:id="@+id/pspdf__activity_content"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent">

       <com.pspdfkit.ui.contentediting.ContentEditingStylingBar
           android:id="@+id/pspdf__activity_content_editing_bar"
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:layout_gravity="bottom"/>...

   </FrameLayout>
   ```

   Otherwise, you need to [disable Content Editor in your configuration](https://www.nutrient.io/api/android/nutrient/com.pspdfkit.configuration.activity/-pdf-activity-configuration/-builder/content-editing-enabled.html). If you’re not using a custom layout, you don’t need to do anything to enable Content Editor.
