## Updating Olive Helps
If there is a new version of Olive Helps available, it will download in the background while you're running the application. A notification should show up in the bottom of the sidebar window, giving you the option to `Update Now` or `Update on Next Restart`. Either way, the update will be applied next time the application is launched.
If you choose to `Update on Next Restart` or dismiss this notification, you can always check if there's an update available by looking in the About window. To do this, open the menu at the top of the sidebar window and choose `About Olive Helps`.
In the About window, you should see something like the following, with the option to `Restart to apply update`, visible only if there any available updates.
