Update Rock

We know how important Rock is to your organization. That’s why we dedicate so many resources to providing you with timely bug fixes and a steady stream of new features. That’s also why we’ve built a sophisticated, yet simple, update process.

The update screen can be found under:
Admin Tools > Settings > Rock Update.
From this screen your server will initiate a quick check to Rock’s server to see if there are any new updates available. If there are, the updates and their descriptions will be displayed. Once you decide you’re ready, simply click the Install button and Rock will do the rest.

Security Update Notice

People find and report security flaws faster than ever, and our team works to keep recent versions of Rock secure. When a more secure version is ready, Rock lets your administrators know.

Rock checks with the Rock servers to see if a more secure version than the one you're running is available. If so, a red notice appears at the top of the internal homepage. It names your current version and the version to update to. Select Update Rock to go straight to the Rock Update page.

Only people in the RSR - Rock Administration security role see the notice. It has no close button and goes away on its own once you update to a secure version. Back up your system first, as the preceding warning explains.

Questions About Updating

Do I have to update to the latest version?
Depending how often you update, you may see several updates available. You don’t necessarily need to update to the latest and greatest version. You can update to any version you wish. Doing so will install all of the previous updates up to that point. If you see the security update notice, update to at least the version it names.
Can I skip a specific update?
No, updates are cumulative. You can't skip over a specific update or patch.
