Updating the [[brand]] desktop app: Check for updates
Updated · ZA · BW
The desktop app checks for a new version when it starts and every few hours after. It never installs on its own: installing restarts the app, and nobody should lose a half-finished return to a background update.
When an update is offered
- A box appears at the bottom right saying a new version is available.
- Press Install and restart. If you have work on this computer that has not reached the server yet, it is uploaded first; the box says so.
- Or press Later — the offer comes back after a day, or when the app next starts. A newer version is offered straight away.
Checking yourself
- Open Settings (bottom of the menu).
- Under Updates, press Check for updates.
- "You're on the latest version" means nothing to do. If a version is available, use the box at the bottom right to install it.
The version you are running is printed at the bottom of Settings. If a check says it could not reach the update server, check your internet connection and try again. The web version is always current — it needs no update.
Where these numbers come from
Current as at for South Africa (SARS) and Botswana (BURS). Rates and thresholds change; the sources below are the authority, not this page.
