Update Contextli to the latest version

Contextli updates itself: it checks for new versions in the background, downloads them and installs when you quit. To update right now, open Settings > General > App Updates, click Check now, then Install & Restart.

How automatic updates work

• Contextli checks shortly after it starts and then every few hours.
• New versions download in the background.
• When one is ready, a banner says vX is ready to install. Click Install & Restart, or keep working and it installs the next time you quit.
• You may also see a window with Install and Relaunch, Install on Quit and Skip This Version.

Update now

1. Click Settings at the bottom of the sidebar.
2. On the General tab, scroll to Storage & Updates.
3. Under App Updates, click Check now. Your Current version is shown here too.
4. When the update is ready, click Install & Restart.

“Update required”

If your version is too old, Contextli shows Update required (“A newer version of Contextli is required. Please update.”). Click Update to open contextli.com/download, download the latest version and install it over the old one.

Update by hand

If the app cannot update itself, download the latest version from contextli.com/download and install it:

• Mac: quit Contextli, open the new .dmg and drag Contextli into Applications, replacing the old one.
• Windows: run the new installer. Do not uninstall first, because uninstalling deletes your local settings and notes.
• Linux: download the new AppImage and run it instead of the old one.

After an update

• Mac: if paste stops working, turn Contextli off and on in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility, then restart the app.
• Windows: if your settings look reset, see My settings reset after a Windows update.
