# Updating

> Keep the Wolfia Chrome extension on the latest version

Chrome updates the Wolfia extension automatically in the background, usually within a few hours of a new release. You don't need to do anything to stay current. If you want a specific fix or feature right away, you can force an update in under a minute.

## Force an update

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the extensions page">
    Paste `chrome://extensions` into a new tab's address bar, or click the puzzle icon in the toolbar and choose **Manage extensions**. You'll see the Wolfia card under **All Extensions**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on Developer mode">
    Toggle **Developer mode** on in the top-right corner. This reveals the **Load unpacked**, **Pack extension**, and **Update** buttons, and shows the installed version number on the Wolfia card.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Update">
    Click **Update** in the top toolbar. Chrome checks every installed extension and pulls the latest version of Wolfia.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reload any open portal tabs">
    If you had a questionnaire portal open during the update, refresh the tab so the new extension version is active there.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can turn Developer mode back off once the update is done. To confirm you're on the latest, compare the version on the Wolfia card against the version on the [Chrome Web Store listing](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/wolfia/pjgnemhlmainfdompaonigbkoicdlkjf).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="circle-question" title="The version didn't change after clicking Update">
    You're already on the latest version Chrome has cached. If a release just shipped, Chrome's update server may take a few hours to serve it. Wait and try again, or remove and reinstall the extension from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/wolfia/pjgnemhlmainfdompaonigbkoicdlkjf).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="user-shield" title="My organization manages Chrome extensions">
    If Chrome is managed by your IT team, extension updates may be controlled by policy and the **Update** button can be hidden or disabled. Ask your admin to push the latest Wolfia version.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="arrow-rotate-left" title="A new version broke something for me">
    Reach out at [support@wolfia.com](mailto:support@wolfia.com) with your extension version (from `chrome://extensions`) and the portal you were working on. We'll triage and ship a fix.
