By default, TurboLaw will check for updates automatically each time you open the TurboLaw program. This happens silently, in the background, unless your attention is needed.

You can see if TurboLaw is automatically checking for updates by looking at the bottom-left corner of the TurboLaw window - when TurboLaw is checking for or downloading updates, a small progress bar will appear, along with some text indicating what TurboLaw is doing (checking for or downloading updates).

[Above: if you see this when you start TurboLaw, it is automatically checking for updates.]

As long as you see this appear each time you open TurboLaw, then you have automatic updates turned on and do not need to take any special steps to ensure that your software is up-to-date. If your attention is required to install an update, the program will notify you with a pop-up in the lower-right corner of your screen.

If you do not have automatic updates turned on, or if you would like to check for updates manually at a different time, follow these steps.

1. Click the Updates menu in TurboLaw.
2. Choose Check for Updates. The TurboLaw Update screen will appear.
3. TurboLaw Update will start checking for updates immediately. If any are found, you will see a list of the available updates. Click Next to download the updates.

If TurboLaw Update needs your attention, it will notify you. Otherwise, the program will download any needed updates.

If you would like to change whether TurboLaw checks for updates automatically or not, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Updates menu in TurboLaw.
2. Choose Update Options.

From this screen, you can choose whether to have TurboLaw check for updates automatically (this is recommended) or not.
