In Staq’s ecosystem, there are 3x critical management concepts you should familiarize yourself with, each represented in the Management<\/strong> column:<\/p>\n You can view if a plugin\/theme is out of date. If you hover over the icon, it’ll tell you the latest version.<\/p>\n To perform an update, click\u00a0Manage Updates<\/strong>, the blue button on the top right.<\/p>\n You’ll be directed to a screen that shows you the list of plugins that require updates.<\/p>\n When dealing with multiple plugins, it can become cumbersome to update them individually. Staq’s bulk update feature aims to simplify this process, allowing for efficient and streamlined updates.<\/p>\n Within the Manage Updates<\/strong> section, you’ll be ushered to a new screen showcasing all plugins awaiting updates. For a hassle-free, collective update, simply click the Update All<\/strong> button. This activates an asynchronous process, ensuring all plugins are updated. Subsequently, our Regression Testing is run to ensure site stability.<\/p>\n Should you wish to prevent specific plugins from updating, simply select the plugin and click Exclude<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For those who prefer to maintain a hands-on approach or require granular control over updates, Staq offers a manual update option. To utilize this, locate the desired plugin, click on the adjacent dropdown menu, and select Update<\/strong>. This action will initiate the update process for only that particular plugin.<\/p>\n The same UX of how to update plugins is the same with Themes.
