+### Upgrading from v0.13.x to v0.14.x
+
+**BREAKING CHANGE:** Norish v0.14.0+ requires Redis for background job processing.
+
+Before upgrading, you **must** configure Redis:
+
+**Option 1: Using an existing Redis cluster (Recommended for production)**
+
+Update your `values.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  host: "redis.default.svc.cluster.local"  # Your Redis server
+  port: 6379
+  database: 0
+  # If Redis requires authentication:
+  existingSecret: "my-redis-secret"  # Secret containing redis-url key
+  urlKey: "redis-url"
+```
+
+Create the Redis secret with the full URL:
+
+```bash
+# For Redis with authentication
+kubectl create secret generic my-redis-secret \
+  --from-literal=redis-url="redis://username:password@redis.default.svc.cluster.local:6379/0"
+
+# For Redis without authentication
+kubectl create secret generic my-redis-secret \
+  --from-literal=redis-url="redis://redis.default.svc.cluster.local:6379/0"
+```
+
+**Option 2: Using plain password in values (Simple setup)**
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  host: "redis.default.svc.cluster.local"
+  port: 6379
+  database: 0
+  username: "default"  # Optional
+  password: "mypassword"  # Chart will auto-generate redis-url
+```
+
+**Option 3: Redis without authentication**
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  host: "redis.default.svc.cluster.local"
+  port: 6379
+  database: 0
+  # No password or existingSecret - chart will generate simple URL
+```
+
+After configuring Redis, upgrade the chart:
+
+```bash
+$ helm upgrade norish helm-charts/norish -f values.yaml
+```
+
+### What's New in v0.14.x
+
+**Breaking Changes:**
+- Redis is now required for the application to function
+- See the [upgrade guide](#upgrading-from-v013x-to-v014x) above
+
+**New Features:**
+- Recipe improvements:
+  - Full redesign of the recipe desktop page
+  - Recipe linking and headings in description/instruction steps
+  - Attach images to steps as reference material
+  - Keep screen on during cooking
+  - Drag and drop ingredient and step reordering
+  - Manual or AI-powered macro nutrient estimation
+- New creation options:
+  - Recipe creation by image (supports multiple images, requires AI)
+  - Recipe creation via plain recipe text
+  - "Always use AI to import" override in admin settings
+- Allergy MVP:
+  - Users can set allergies in their settings page
+  - Warnings when planning recipes with matching allergies
+- Rating and liking recipes (including filtering)
+
+**Technical Improvements:**
+- Redis + BullMQ for importing and other background tasks
+- Removed puppeteer in favor of playwright
+- All dependencies updated
+- Improved reverse proxy support
+- Rate limiting for brute force attacks
+
+**Bug Fixes:**
+- User menu not opening import modal
+- User menu creation not linking
+- Improved pre-fetching of recipes and virtualization
+

 ### Service Parameters
@@ -287,6 +291,37 @@ Paperless-ngx uses several directories:
 
 All directories can be configured with separate PVCs and storage classes.
 
+### Using Existing PVCs
+
+The chart supports using existing PersistentVolumeClaims instead of creating new ones. This is useful for:
+- Migrating from an existing Paperless-ngx deployment
+- Using pre-provisioned storage with specific settings
+- Sharing volumes across deployments
+
+To use an existing PVC, specify the `existingClaim` parameter for the relevant volume:
+
+```yaml
+persistence:
+  data:
+    enabled: true
+    existingClaim: "my-existing-data-pvc"
+  media:
+    enabled: true
+    existingClaim: "my-existing-media-pvc"
+  export:
+    enabled: true
+    existingClaim: ""  # Will create new PVC
+  consume:
+    enabled: true
+    existingClaim: ""  # Will create new PVC
+```
+
+When `existingClaim` is specified:
+- The chart will **NOT** create a new PVC
+- The specified PVC must already exist in the same namespace
+- `storageClass`, `size`, and `accessMode` parameters are ignored for that volume
+- You can mix existing and new PVCs (some volumes with `existingClaim`, others without)

+### Custom Sidecar Containers
+
+The chart supports adding custom sidecar containers to the pod. This is useful for adding additional functionality like port forwarding management (NATMap), monitoring, or other helper containers.
+
+Sidecars are specified using the standard Kubernetes container specification:
+
+```yaml
+sidecars:
+  - name: natmap
+    image: ghcr.io/muink/natmap:latest
+    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
+    env:
+      - name: GATEWAY
+        value: "10.2.0.1"
+      - name: INTERFACE
+        value: "tun0"
+      - name: INTERVAL
+        value: "30"
+    volumeMounts:
+      - name: config
+        mountPath: /config
+        subPath: natmap
+```
+
+**Common Use Cases:**
+
+1. **NATMap**: Automatically update port forwarding configurations
+2. **Monitoring**: Add monitoring agents or exporters
+3. **Custom Scripts**: Run periodic maintenance or update tasks
+
+**Sharing Volumes:**
+
+Sidecars can access the same volumes as the main containers:
+- `config`: qBittorrent configuration volume
+- `downloads`: Downloads volume
+- `gluetun-config`: Gluetun configuration volume (if enabled)
+
+For the full Kubernetes container specification reference, see the [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.28/#container-v1-core).
