It's highly recommended that you reserialize your Dags with ``dags reserialize`` after you finish downgrading your Airflow environment (meaning, after you've downgraded the Airflow version installed in your Python environment, not immediately after you've downgraded the database).
This is to ensure that the serialized Dags are compatible with the downgraded version of Airflow.

.. _cli-reserialize-dags:

Reserializing Dags
------------------

The ``dags reserialize`` command parses the Dag files visible to it and updates their
serialized representation in the metadata database. It is a maintenance command, useful
for example to refresh serialized Dags after upgrading or downgrading Airflow.

.. note::

``airflow dags reserialize`` serializes the Dag files visible to the process
running it. It does not deploy or synchronize Dag source files, and does not
replace normal Dag Processor bundle refreshes. In a distributed deployment,
run it from an environment that sees the same Dag bundle contents as the Dag Processor.
