Updates
Automatic and manual checks
In production builds, the desktop app checks for updates automatically 5 seconds after launch. You can also trigger a check manually from the tray menu, under Check for Updates.
Installing an update
When an update is downloaded, a toast appears in the bottom-right corner with a Restart & Install button. If you dismiss it instead, the update installs automatically the next time you quit the app.
Channels
- Stable — published releases. This is the default channel.
- Staging — pre-releases. This is opt-in: it requires a build made with
BRINGUP_ALLOW_PRERELEASE=true, which isn't something you can toggle at runtime.
