2. Find and select the application or plugin that you want to update.  
   You can search for an application or plugin by name, or use the sort and filter options available in the Application Manager.
3. From the Summary section of the details page, select Proceed to update.
4. Select a compatible version from the version drop-down menu.
5. If the application or plugin has dependencies, verify that all necessary dependencies can be updated or installed.  
   If any dependencies are categorized as Needs to be procured from store, procure the necessary dependencies and sync the Application Manager with the ServiceNow Store before continuing. For more information about unavailable dependencies that block updates, see [Updating applications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/mlUEDi2ecXwSWWq8CkHhDA "Update your installed applications when new versions are available to get the latest features. You can update most applications to more recent versions directly from the Application Manager, without returning to the ServiceNow Store.").
6. Install the update now or schedule installation for a later time.

   | Installation option | Procedure |
   | Install now | 1. Leave the default option to Install now selected. 2. Select Install. {#update-application-app-mgr__ol_o4w_l2b_sfc} |
