Update AI Workbench#

Overview#

The Desktop App will alert you when updates are available.

If an update is available, the update window will open each time you start the application. It will go away once you update.

If you did the full local install, updating the Desktop App will update that as well.

When you update the Desktop App, you should also update any remote locations you have connected.

The Desktop App uses an API to handle remote locations. You will need to update the remote locations as well to make sure the APIs are compatible.

You SSH into a remote location and run a command to update it.

It’s simple and quick.
