# How do I update Storage Studio to the latest version?

Storage Studio checks for updates on its own and tells you when a newer version is ready. Open **Settings → License** and look at the **Updates** card: it shows the latest and installed versions, a **Check Now** button and, when there's an update, a **Download** button.

To install the update:

1. Click **Download** and open the downloaded disk image.
2. Storage Studio — still running — recognises the newer version, updates itself in place and relaunches.

There's no need to quit first or drag anything. In the Advanced view, the setup and maintenance menu also has **Check for updates**. See [What's new](https://storagestudio.us/release-notes) for each version's changes.
