Update Stenowise

Applies to: Windows, macOS, Linux

Stenowise checks for a new version on start and tells you when it finds one. Stenowise downloads an update only after you agree.

Install an update

When Stenowise finds a new version, the notice “Version X available” appears.

  1. Click “Open settings” in the notice. The About tab opens.
  2. Read under “New in this version” what has changed.
  3. Click “Download and install”.

While downloading, Stenowise shows the progress as “Downloading, X%”. Stenowise restarts after the installation.

Check for updates manually

  • Open Settings › About and click “Check now” next to “Check for updates”.
  • Click “Check for updates” in the icon's menu. The result appears as a notice. You install the update in the About tab.

The check on start

“Check for updates on start” under Settings › About is on by default. If you switch it off, Stenowise checks only when you start the check yourself.
