Patching a 3650 IOS-XE Switch Stack

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to upgrade ios-xe a 4-member stack of 3650 devices.
The documentation discusses different ios versions being compatible or incompatible with each other, and how each configuration affects the compatibility of the upgrade process.
This is fine, but i'm having serious trouble finding a compatibility matrix or any kind of document that outlines which versions of IOS-XE will work with each other in a stack, or not.

Additionally, i'm not 100% clear on the intended procedure for performing the update, so my thoughts are:

All the switches are in install mode, so at this point the plan is to run:
software install flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin

which should upgrade the master switch, and then once the switch stack reboots, to run:

software install source switch 1

Which, as far as I can tell, will install the new software on each switch stack member.

Either that or change the switches to bundle mode and make them boot from the .bin directly.

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks

software install flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin

This command, without specify the destination switch, means "install" (or unpack) the files to all switch members of the stack. 

software install source switch 1

This command means means "install" (or unpack) the files to switch member 1 only. 

Use the first command only to upgrade the IOS of all members of the stack.
