Checking for updates
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
HandBrake can let you know when a newer version is available, and even automatically download and install available updates.
|
|
|
|
Before updating, please make sure there are no pending encodes in the `Queue`. If you are currently using HandBrake older than version 1.0.0, also make note of any custom `Presets` you have created, as they may not be compatible with newer versions.

|
## Updating HandBrake on Linux
|
|
|
|
The Linux version of HandBrake does not have a built-in update checking feature. Updates are provided via FlatPak bundles.
|
|

|
## Updating HandBrake on Mac
|
|
|
|
After you've installed and launched HandBrake more than once, it will ask whether you want to automatically check for updates. Select `Check Automatically` and HandBrake will offer to install future updates as they become available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Automatic update checking may be enabled or disabled in HandBrake's preferences. Using the main menu at the top of your screen, select `HandBrake` and then `Preferences...`. You will find the option in the `General` section.
|
|
|
|
Manually checking for updates is easy. Using the main menu at the top of your screen, select `HandBrake` and then `Check for Updates...`. If an update is available, HandBrake will offer to install it for you.
