How do I set the interval at which SnapGene checks for software updates?
Show Preferences
Click menu SnapGene → Preferences (macOS) or menu Edit → Preferences (Windows or Linux).
Select "General" in the sidebar.
To disable checking for updates, uncheck the box labeled "Check for updates".
To change the interval, use the drop-down to choose whether to check daily, weekly, or monthly.
To check for updates immediately, click the Check Now button.
To download new updates automatically (when available), check the box labeled "Download updates automatically".
SnapGene will notify the user when an update is ready to install. SnapGene will not update without user authorization.
IT managers can also disable Update checks when installing SnapGene - see Adjust the Configuration.
