+
+To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
+
+ sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
+
+If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade complete!
+
+## Things went south? Revert to previous version (6.4)
+
+### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
+Follow the [`upgrade guide from 6.3 to 6.4`](6.3-to-6.4.md), except for the database migration
+(The backup is already migrated to the previous version)
+
+### 2. Restore from the backup:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
+```
