New releases of Opal are made available on a regular basis. To update your installation:

• Connect to your Opal On-Premise dashboard: https://<HOSTNAME>:8800
• Click "Check for update", which will fetch the latest available version from Replicated
• Click "Deploy" to deploy, which will automatically update all necessary components.

You can also navigate to the Version History in your on-prem dashboard, which has a list of all available versions. From here, you can rollback to a previous version if needed.

Deploying a new release should take less than a minute and does not cause downtime. However, we recommend that you monitor the upgrade in case issues arise.
