### How auto-update works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Obsidian checks for update every 12 hours. Once an update is available, restarting the app will automatically bring you to the latest version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can check your current version, check for updates in Settings => About. You can also turn off "automatic updates" there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Insider build
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're looking to update to the latest insider build, please refer to [[Insider builds#How to enable insider build|this guide]] on how to turn it on.

### Current version vs installed version
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you look closely in Settings => About, you can find your current version and your installer version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your current version is your Obsidian version. This is the version of the app on top of the engine (which is Electron). It will increase when you auto-update, but your installer version will not. Your installer version will only increase when you install Obsidian with a new installer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most features can be delivered by auto-updating, but to update the engine for certain new features Obsidian, we encourage you to grab the latest installer from [our official website](https://obsidian.md) from time to time, when your current version is above the installer version by a lot, for example when your current version is 0.10.8 while installer version is 0.8.3.
