    Version Compatibility when I am adding a new node to a cluster

    I have a Proxmox V8 cluster with two nodes. I built the cluster 6 month ago. I am planning to add one more node to my cluster. Can I download the latest installation USB key and install the new node or there is a version compatibility requirement between a PVE cluster nodes? Thank you
