Published in SketchUp Update 2 mins read

Updating SketchUp is often a straightforward process, especially when a new version is released.

The most common way to update SketchUp is through the application itself, as it's designed to inform you when an update is available.

Receiving SketchUp Update Notifications

SketchUp is designed to keep you informed about the availability of newer versions. According to information provided, SketchUp will even notify you if a new version has released.

  • Notification Pop-up: When you are using an outdated version of SketchUp, A notification message will pop up.
  • Following Links: If you get the pop up message, you can simply follow the notification links and download the latest version.

This means you don't typically need to manually check a website unless you missed a notification or prefer that method.

Steps When Notified

When you receive the pop-up notification within SketchUp:

  1. Look for the notification message that appears while you are using the software.
  2. Carefully read the message, which will indicate that a new version is available.
  3. Follow the links provided within that notification message. These links are designed to take you directly to the download page or initiate the download process for the latest version relevant to your license.
  4. Download the installer file for the new version.
  5. Close SketchUp.
  6. Run the downloaded installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the update.

Note: While the notification method is primary, you can often download the latest version directly from the official SketchUp website by logging into your account, but the notification simplifies finding the correct download.

By following the in-app notifications, you ensure you are getting the correct and latest version of SketchUp compatible with your system and license.
