How to update the editor?

Abdou23 · February 11, 2018, 3:41pm

I’m using Editor 2 version: 1.2.118 But I understand that there is a newer version. Do I have to re-download the editor or is there a way to upgrade it from the editor itself?

New versions will auto-download. You can click the Update button on the bottom right when you see an update is available. You can also leave the launcher open and it will pop up a dialog to update when it detects a new version.

I’ve closed and re-opened it 2 times and nothing happens. I also don’t see an “Update” button on the bottom right. I’m on MAC

If you click Help->About what do you see? You might already be on latest

You will have to open the editor and leave it open for a while so it has time to download the newer version.

Why isn’t there an “Check for update” option?!
