 +===== How to Update =====
 +
 +The process for updating p.d depends on the current version you have installed, so the first step is to check your current p.d installation version. This is done from the "About" page within p.d, which is accessed from the p.d main menu.
 +
 +=== p.d version 5.3.8 ===
 +
 +If your current version is p.d 5.3.8 (or below), then updates are done directly within the p.d software. Simply open p.d, login, and then from the main menu, select the "Check for Updates" option. As of June 29th, 2026 all users of version 5.3.8 and below should be available for updates.
 +
 +=== p.d version 5.4.8 ===
 +
 +If your current version is p.d 5.4.8 (or any 5.4.x version), then updates are managed via our website at direct.dotdecimal.com. Please log in to this website and select the "Manage" tab from the left side menu (if the Manage tab is not available, then please contact your supervisor to determine which user at your facility has been designated as the "Site Manager"). From the Manage tab, select a Site (location) and then change the version of the p.d App to reflect the latest available version, then click Apply. Now simply log into the decimal Launcher software as normal and p.d will show a "download" link to update to this latest version. Updates for 5.4.x users are scheduled to release by July 13th, 2026.
