  I am currently on CIVICRM 5.463 under Joomla 3.10.11. As I am relatively knew to the CIVICRM world, is there a specific release upgrade process (other than taking backups) that I should be aware of? Any specific gotchas that I should watch out for in doing an upgrade? Are there any issues with me upgrading directly to 5.55 from 5.463? Any concerns about associated extensions?

  Take a look at <https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/upgrade/joomla>, which has steps for joomla and <https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/upgrade/version-specific> which has generic information.
