TechSmith Update Preferences: Standard vs. Delayed Updates

TechSmith allows you to control when and how software updates are delivered to your desktop applications. This flexibility allows you to get access to new features right away or wait until updates have been available and tested more broadly.

Understanding Your Update Options

Inside your application's updater settings, you can choose between two update options:

  • Standard (Default): Receive new features, enhancements, and fixes as soon as they are publicly released. This option is ideal if you want immediate access to the latest functionality and improvements.

  • Delayed: Receive updates after they have been available to general users for a period of time. This option is great if your workflow requires extra stability or if you prefer additional time before adopting new changes.

How to Change Your Update Settings

You can adjust your update preference at any time within your app settings. Any changes you make will apply to future update checks.

Note: Switching your setting to Delayed will not roll back or uninstall updates you have already installed on your machine.

Managed Environments & Admin Restrictions

In some organizational or enterprise environments, your IT team may manage or lock update settings.

If the option to change between Standard and Delayed is unavailable or grayed out in your app, please contact your system administrator or IT helpdesk for assistance.
