-- Shadow links do not currently support Cloud Topics.
+- In Redpanda versions earlier than v26.2, shadow links do not support Cloud Topics.
 - Once created, a Cloud Topic cannot be converted back to a standard Redpanda topic that uses local storage or Tiered Storage v1. Conversely, existing topics created as local or Tiered Storage v1 topics cannot be converted to Cloud Topics. Starting in Redpanda v26.2, Cloud Topics can be converted to and from Tiered Storage v2 topics.

 == Deferred upgrade finalization
 
 You can now keep a feature-release upgrade open, soak testing the new version with a guaranteed rollback path, and finalize the upgrade when you are ready. For clusters in a Shadowing topology, new guidance covers upgrade order: upgrade the shadow cluster before the source cluster, and use deferred finalization for bidirectional topologies.
