Updating Cuebot

A new Cuebot version brings fixes and new features. This page shows how to put it in place without losing anything, and how to let Cuebot tell you when a new version is out.

Getting the new version

Settings > Support > Updates

  1. Close Cuebot.
  2. Download the new version from the releases page, the same file you picked when installing.
  3. Unzip it over the old folder, or into a new folder. On a Mac, drag the new Cuebot into Applications and choose Replace.

Your actions and settings are not in the program folder, so nothing is lost. They live in your data folder.

On a Mac

If hotkeys or key presses stop working after an update, see "After updating on a Mac" on Installing Cuebot.

Being told about new versions

In the left rail click Settings, then the Support page, then the Updates tab.

  • "Check for updates when Cuebot starts (at most once a day)" is ticked from the start. Untick it if you would rather check yourself.
  • Check now looks right away.
  • Channel is Stable at first. Set it to Prerelease to also hear about test versions. While Cuebot is in testing, every release is a test version, so pick Prerelease for now.
  • When there is a new version, Open release page takes you to its download.

Cuebot only checks GitHub for a newer release. It never downloads or installs anything by itself.
