-5. Performing Mass Upgrades
+If you need to cancel a firmware upgrade that is currently in progress on
+a specific device, you can do so from the device's firmware upgrade page.
+
+To cancel an ongoing upgrade:
+
+- Navigate to the device details page
+- Go to the "Firmware" tab
+- If an upgrade is in progress, you will see a "Cancel Upgrade" button
+- Click the "Cancel Upgrade" button to stop the upgrade process

+Cancellation is only possible during the early stages of the upgrade
+process. Once the firmware flashing begins, the cancel button will be
+disabled and the upgrade cannot be stopped, as interrupting the flashing
+process could corrupt the device.

+The system automatically prevents cancellation during critical phases to
+ensure device safety.
+
+Once canceled, the upgrade status will be updated to show that the
+operation was canceled, and you can attempt a new upgrade if needed.
