Updating the system

One of the maintenance tasks is updating the WebIssues system to a newer version. New versions fix potential problems and add new features, so it is recommended to periodically update the software. To quickly check if a newer version of the system is available, click Tools and About WebIssues, and then in the Latest Version group, click the Check button. The Desktop Client by default automatically checks if a new version is available (see the section called “Desktop Client settings”).

Before the update, it is recommended to back up the database and WebIssues system files, and also disable the web server to prevent other users from accessing the system during the update.
