# Update ServiceNow Arc

# Update ServiceNow Arc {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 5, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
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).
