# Updating Unbind (/operations/updating-unbind)



Updates are started by you. Unbind never updates on its own.

## Update [#update]

Go to **System** > **Updates**. It shows your current version and, when there is a newer one, what changed in it.

Press **Update Now**. The update takes a few minutes.

* **Your services keep running** the whole time.
* **The Unbind UI and API go down** for a short while. Deployments cannot start during that window.
* You can close the page and come back.

When it is done the page says **Updated to** and the new version. If it fails, Unbind rolls back to the version you had and offers **Retry Update**.

## Before you update [#before-you-update]

* Read what changed. Breaking changes are called out in the release notes on [GitHub](https://github.com/unbindapp/unbind/releases).
* Do not update in the middle of a deployment you care about.

## Servers [#servers]

Updating Unbind does not touch the operating system or the settings of your servers. When a release asks for it, run `sudo unbind update-node` on each server. See [Servers](/operations/servers#apply-new-settings-to-a-server).

Operating system updates are yours to do. Reboot one server at a time.
