# How often does Storage Studio check for updates, and how do I check now?

Storage Studio checks for updates every 24 hours. The **Software updates** row in **Settings → Services** shows "Up to date" with when it last checked, or "Update available" with the new version.

To check straight away, open **Settings → License** and click **Check Now** on the **Updates** card, which also has **Download** and **Release Notes** buttons. See [getting started](https://storagestudio.us/faq/getting-started/) for how updating works.
