To update the Slack desktop application on your computer, you generally follow a few simple steps directly within the app. Keeping Slack updated ensures you have the latest features, performance improvements, and security fixes.
Updating the Slack Desktop App
Updating Slack is a quick process that can be initiated from the application's menu bar. Here are the specific steps you can take:
- Open the Slack app. Make sure the Slack application is running on your computer.
- Click Slack in your computer's menu bar. This menu is typically found at the very top of your screen, next to the Apple menu (on macOS) or the File/Edit menus (on Windows, though the exact location might vary slightly based on the version, looking for the application name is key).
- Click Check for Updates, then click Restart to Apply Update. The app will check if a new version is available. If one is found, you'll be prompted to download and apply it. Restarting the app is necessary for the update to take effect.
Following these steps will ensure your Slack desktop application is running the most current version available.
