As a result, modifications to the default behavior do not affect the grouping of existing issues. When you create a Sentry project, the most recent version of the error grouping algorithm is automatically selected. This ensures that grouping behavior is consistent within a project. -To upgrade an existing project to a new error grouping algorithm version, navigate to **Settings > Projects > [project] > Issue Grouping > Upgrade Grouping**. After upgrading to a new error grouping algorithm, you will very likely see new groups being created. - All versions consider the `fingerprint` first, the `stack trace` next, then the `exception`, and then finally the `message`. To see how an isssue was grouped, go to its **Issue Details** page and scroll down to "Event Grouping Information". There, you'll see if it was grouped by a fingerprint, stack trace, exception, or message.
