# Update ServiceNow Arc

ServiceNow Arc checks for updates automatically and verifies each update before it installs. You can also check for updates yourself at any time.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_app\_arc.user

## About this task

Arc checks for updates at startup. When it finds a required update, it shows the **Update and Restart** screen. When it finds an update in the background, it shows a notification that you can dismiss.

## Procedure

1.  In the ServiceNow Arc application, open **Settings**.

2.  Select **About**.

3.  Select **Update now**.

    The **Update now** button appears only when an update is available. If Arc is current, **About** shows **Up to date** with the version number, for example **Up to date \(v1.0.0\)**.
