How to use the QBM software update screen to review available updates, read update notes, and prepare safely before downloading or applying an update.
How It Works
Users open the update screen, review the update notes, check the available actions, and decide whether to proceed with download or stop and prepare further first.
Main Areas
| Area | What It Means | When To Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Update notes | Shows the release or readme information provided for the update. | Use it to understand what is changing before proceeding. |
| Download and stop actions | Controls whether the update download proceeds or is cancelled. | Use it when deciding whether to continue with the update. |
| Backup and help links | Provides access to backup and support guidance before updating. | Use it as part of a safer update process. |
Recommended Workflow
- Open the software update screen and review the available update information.
- Read the update notes carefully so you understand what is changing.
- Confirm that backup precautions have been taken according to your company process.
- Proceed with the download only when you are ready to continue.
- Use help or support guidance if anything about the update is unclear.
Best Practice
- Review backups before applying updates in production.
- Read the update notes instead of treating every update as identical.
- Use a controlled update process rather than updating without preparation.
