Updating FileAgent
Keep FileAgent current from inside the console. Updates preserve your jobs, credentials, and settings — and a short routine keeps production updates low-risk.

#How updates work
FileAgent checks for new releases and manages updates under Settings → Updates. Product updates are included on Pro plans and above. Your installed version is always visible on the Updates page. Updating preserves your configuration, jobs, credentials, and logs.
#Check, download, install
- Check — the Updates page shows your current version and whether a newer release is available, with release notes.
- Download — fetch the update from the Updates page, or from fileagent.app/download if outbound internet is restricted.
- Install — apply the update on the host. On Windows, run the new installer; on Linux, install the new package over the existing one. Your data is preserved.
#Versioning
Releases use major.minor.patch versions. Patch releases are fixes, minor releases add features, and major releases may change behavior — read the release notes before applying a major update.
#Recommended production routine
- Pick a window when no critical jobs are scheduled (check next-run times on the Jobs page).
- Take a configuration backup first (Business plans and above).
- Apply the update, sign in, and confirm the version and System Status.
- Use Run now on one representative job to validate end-to-end before the next scheduled wave.
Stay within a release or two of current. Small, regular updates are far lower-risk than rare big jumps.
