===== What Gets Updated in LUCY? =====

There are three types of updates in LUCY:

  * **Major LUCY updates**: Within each major update (like 2.4,2.5,2.6 etc.) LUCY **updates the application and the operating system** (including all relevant security patches). 
  * **Minor LUCY Updates**: During minor updates (like 2.4.1, 2.4.2 etc.) only application hotfixes and minor improvements are provided.
  * **Template Updates**: Independent from LUCY system updates there are as well template updates for the landing pages, awareness pages, message templates and the file templates. You will be notified if there is a new or updates [[download_templates|template which you can download using the download button]].

===== How often is LUCY updated? =====
You will find updates to templates (awareness templates, attack templates, file templates, plugin templates) almost on a daily base. Those updates contain new templates or improvements to existing templates (like new languages, bug fixes etc). The application itsself with new features gets updated in avarage every 3 months.

===== Does LUCY inform me about updates? =====

All updates for LUCY are stored on a centralized server. As soon there is a new version LUCY will automatically notify you two different ways:

  * **Dashboard**: After you login to LUCY you will be informed on the dashboard if there is an update available.
  * **Status**: Within the "settings/status" navigation menu you can find the current update notifications.

===== Where can I find the update details and release notes? =====

The release notes can be found in the LUCY UI under support/release notes for past updates.
Or, just search "release" on this wiki.
===== Updating while running campaigns =====

In order to do an update you need to stop the campaign. The update process usually takes between 1-5 minutes. Within this time frame, all landing pages are stopped and no mails are sent. If a recipient clicks on a phishing link, he will get the error message defined within the [[white_label_lucy_-_custom_branding|white label settings]] or the [[domain_configuration|domain settings]]. After the update you can resume all your campaign without loosing any data. Just click on "[[start_a_campaign_campaign_checks|resume]]" the campaign without re-sending any mails or affecting the stats. 

===== How to do an update? =====

Updating LUCY is easy and straightforward and can be done in two different ways:

  * **Updating LUCY if you have internet access**: in this case you can click the update notification button to initiate the update or you can go directly to the update feature that can be found under "Settings/Update" and click the icon to start the update.
