# Updating Versions

{% hint style="warning" %}

## **CyberDrain Hosted Clients**

If you’re using a CyberDrain-hosted instance of CIPP, updates happen automatically; generally, within **48 hours** of a new release. You can safely skip the rest of this page; however, it is important to perform a permissions check via CIPP > Application Settings > [Permissions](/user-documentation/cipp/settings/permissions.md) to ensure any newly added permissions are accounted for.
{% endhint %}

Update your self-hosted CIPP instance to the latest release using the following instructions:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Log in to CIPP

Log in to CIPP as a superadmin account
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open Container Management

Go to CIPP -> Advanced -> Container Management -> [Status & Updates](/user-documentation/cipp/advanced/container-management/status.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Update Management

Set your auto-update settings or press the "Check now" button to check for updates and install them.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can optionally change which Release Channel you target for updates. Use caution when running Dev or Nightly as these can contain untested changes.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cipp.app/setup/maintaining-cipp/updating.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
