Updating Your Studio Installation

Once you have installed the studio, you should make sure that you keep your studio installation up-to-date. SAP usually publishes new studio builds every two weeks in the SAP Software Download Center. You can check the build date of your installation under   Help   About SAP Cloud Applications Studio .

Please note that as from version 1302 of the studio you can use the Check for Updates function in the Help menu. When you select this function, the studio checks if a newer version of your studio is available on the SAP Software Download Center . In case a new version is available, you are informed accordingly and you can directly start an update process. The update process automatically removes the studio, downloads the latest version from the SAP Software Download Center and installs it. Please make sure to save your work before updating the studio. You require the same authorization for this process as for the manual download of the studio from the SAP Software Download Center . If you experience problems with the automatic download, please check if you can manually download the studio from the SAP Software Download Center .

Automatic Check for Updates

You can enable the studio to check for updates automatically. To do this, in the studio, go to   Administration   Options and Settings   Update , click the checkbox and enter how often the system should check for updates.

Automatic Update of Local Help

When you install a new build of the studio the local help is now also installed automatically.
