SchemaStudio checks for updates automatically and notifies you when a new version is available. You stay in control of when to download and install — nothing updates without your action.
Each time SchemaStudio starts, it silently contacts the update server to check whether a newer version is available. The check runs in the background and never delays startup.
If a new version is available, a notification appears in the bottom-right corner of the workspace with:
The notification can be dismissed by clicking ×. SchemaStudio will not show it again for that version until the next startup.
To check for updates at any time, go to Help → Check for Updates… SchemaStudio immediately contacts the update server and shows one of two results:
Clicking Download & Install starts the update entirely in the background. SchemaStudio downloads the installer to a temporary folder, runs it silently with all open applications closed gracefully, then exits. The installer completes and SchemaStudio is ready to launch again — no browser, no manual file management required.
Clicking Download opens the release page in your browser. Download the

the installer. Updates only replace the application itself.
Your activation is retained across minor version updates (1.0.x, 1.x). You do not need to re-enter your license key. If SchemaStudio asks for your key after an update, it means the license store was affected by the install process — re-enter your key via Help → Enter License Key… to restore full access.
If your machine has no internet connection at startup, the update check is skipped silently. The next successful network connection at startup will trigger a fresh check.
Full release notes for every version are available on the SchemaStudio page. Release notes are also shown inline in the update notification dialog.
