 This page explains how to check whether an update to SPACAR Light is available and how to update your installation.
-====== Finding installed version ======
+===== Finding installed version =====
-Given a working installation, simply running the included ''example.m'' file will produce a structure in the MATLAB workspace called ''out''. That structure contains a ''version'' field, so entering ''out.version'' after a simulation shows what the current version is.
+Given a working installation, simply running the included ''example.m'' file will produce a structure in the MATLAB workspace called ''out''. That structure contains a ''version'' field, so entering ''out.version'' in the command window after a simulation shows what the current version is.
 Alternatively, you can enter ''help spacarlight'' and find the version number in the description.
-====== Finding the most recent version ======
+===== Finding the most recent version =====
 The development of SPACAR Light occurs on GitHub. The most recent version can be found on the [[https://github.com/precision-utwente/spalight/releases|releases page]].
+===== Updating existing installation =====
+Assuming that a version of SPACAR Light is installed according to the [[installation|instructions]] and that a new version is available, simply overwrite ''[userpath]\spacar\spacarlight.m'' with the new file. Then, if MATLAB is still running, either restart it, or issue ''restoredefaultpath'' in the command window.
+Scripts calling SPACAR Light can then be executed provided that they have access the program as detailed in step 5 on the [[installation|installation]] page.
