Updates

The app keeps itself up to date. Every update is signed: before the app offers one, it checks the update against our publishing key, so only updates that really come from us are installed.

How you're asked

When a new version is out, a bar at the top of the window says Obsidian Mail … is available, with what's new. (If the window is closed, the tray shows a notification.) Choose:

• Install now: the app downloads the update, closes, installs it and starts again by itself.
• Postpone: ask again In 1 hour, In 4 hours, Tomorrow, or the Next time Obsidian Mail starts.
• Skip this version: you won't be asked about this version again. You'll still be told about the next one.

Check now

Use Help > Check for Updates, or File > About > Check for Updates. The bar says whether you have the latest version.

How often it checks

On File > About, under Updates:

• Check for updates automatically (when the app starts, then regularly): on by default.
• Check every: Hour, 4 hours (the default), 12 hours or Day.

Which version you have

File > About and File > Options > About show the version number.
