# Updating

How a ServiceNow administrator installs a new YouDesign Command version from the application list, and what to check afterwards.

New YouDesign Command versions appear on your instance automatically. A ServiceNow administrator installs them when it suits you, in a few steps from the application list.

## Update YouDesign Command

1. Navigate to System Applications > All Available Applications > **All**.

![The All Available Applications list in ServiceNow](https://414746897-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fx4mE784snR9Eb8oVrk4e%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7c77d485849ab47f8caf17fc63844a1d7d9bb5b1%2Fd1d4ef9-upmx_update1.png?alt=media)

2. Search for YouDesign Command.
3. Choose the version you want to update to and select **Update**. The application will automatically update on your instance.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**User Acceptance Test**

Local configuration should be unaffected by updates. However, it is recommended to have a short User Acceptance Test to ensure your YouDesign Command configuration is exactly the same.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ins-pi.com/command/get-the-app/updating.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
