You have the option to have the Admin Console automatically checks for any updates to your already imported third-party libraries. In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

  • Check for Third-Party Library Updates
  • Disable Automatic Update Check for libraries

Check for Third-Party Library Updates

The Admin Console now automatically checks for any updates on your already imported third-party libraries and offers to apply these updates while your Admin Console is running.

You can apply the updates later from the Libraries list on the Third-Party Library page. A down arrow appears next to the libraries that have updates available. To apply the update, select the library and click the Advanced tab. In the Available Updates section you have a button to apply the update and a button to manually check for updates of the selected library.
