An update offered in Paprika for Windows.

Paprika for Windows keeps itself up to date with a built-in software updater — updates are not delivered through an app store.

Checking for Updates

Paprika automatically checks for a new version when it starts. You can also check at any time by choosing Help -> Check For Updates in the menu bar. If you are already up to date, Paprika will report that there are no updates available at this time.

Installing an Update

When an update is found, Paprika displays a Software Update dialog with the new version's release notes and three choices:

Button Description
Install Update Downloads the update and installs it right away.
Remind Me Later Skips the update for now. Paprika will offer it again the next time it checks.
Skip This Version Ignores this particular version. Paprika will not offer it again, but will still offer future updates.

Note

Occasionally an update is required — for example, when the sync service changes — in which case the update must be installed to continue using sync.

Note

Paprika 4 requires Windows 10 or later.
