Updating Apps

Automatic Updates

By default, Plesk installs the latest available app versions and updates apps immediately once the newer versions are available. However, updating an app can significantly change its functionality: For example, plug-ins or extensions developed for a particular app version may be incompatible with newer versions. Therefore, you might want to turn off automatic updates for a certain app.

To turn automatic updates on or off:

1. Go to Applications > Manage My Applications and click the app's name.
2. Click Change Settings.
3. Select or deselect the Automatically update this app when updates are available option .

Manual Updates

If you prohibit automatic updates for an app, Plesk will inform you about the availability of newer versions by adding the link Update available under the app name in Applications > Manage My Applications. Click this link to review the changes available in the new version and decide whether to update the app or continue with the current version.
