Apply Updates

Learn how to apply Autopilot updates.


Autopilot updates and visually tests a copy of your site on a Multidev so it can detect issues before it tries to apply updates.

Autopilot can manage updates for any site that can apply updates via the Site Dashboard.

Apply Available Updates

  1. Navigate to the Autopilot Status screen.

  2. Click Queue Updates.

    • The platform adds the request to a queue, and will apply updates and deploy them to the chosen environments as quickly as possible, depending on the current platform load.
  3. Track the update status from the site's Autopilot Activity page.

You can also apply updates from the site list on the Autopilot page:

  1. Click the Actions drop-down menu next to each site name, and then click Start Applying Updates.

    • The platform adds the request to a queue, and will apply updates and deploy them to the chosen environments as quickly as possible, depending on the current platform load.
  2. Track the update status from the site's Autopilot Activity page.
