Auto-update and Force Update Workstation
Last Updated November 7, 2023
Brief Overview
Auto-update URL Scheme is a feature that allows Workstation to automatically check for updates and install them without any user intervention. This feature is useful in ensuring that users have access to the latest version of Workstation at all times.
Force Update URL Scheme is a feature that allows Workstation to force users to update to a new version of the application. This can be useful in situations where the updated version contains, for example, critical bug fixes or security patches that need to be installed immediately.
