Update banner
When a new version is available, Writer Studio shows a notification banner:
- What's new — view release notes describing the changes
- Download — start the background download of the update
- Install and restart — apply the downloaded update
- Later — hide the banner until the next launch
- Skip version — stop showing the notification for this version
Mandatory security updates are marked with a special icon and cannot be skipped.
Roll back an update
If you run into problems after updating, you can roll back to the previous version:
- Go to Settings -> Updates

- Confirm in the dialog
The rollback restores the previous application version and database from the automatically created backup.
Skipped versions
