Managing Updates

After you have downloaded the updates in the 'Check For New Updates' section, select the 'Manage Updates' tab.

The downloaded updates are split into two sections - 'Core updates' and 'Module updates'.

Core updates

The core updates, which you want to apply, can be selected by using the search filters:

Search filters for core updates

The following filters are available:

Severity: select check boxes corresponding to critical updates, minor updates or new features. More than one check box can be selected.

Status: enable the necessary radio buttons: all updates, not applied or applied. Only one option can be enabled at a time.

Description: enter a word, a phrase or an update ID to select only the relevant updates.

Release period: select the necessary release period from the drop-down box or leave 'Any' to display all updates.

After you have set the search filters click the 'View selection' button to see the results.

For example, you have selected the minor updates with any release date:
