# Update Your MVP

We release feature updates and improvements 3–4 times per year. Keeping your MVP up to date ensures you have the latest features and stability improvements.

#### How to Update

1. On the MVP UI, click the Wi-Fi Icon to connect your MVP to the internet.

4. Click Apply Update.  You will be shown an important warning dialog box.  Read the warning, and when you're ready, click PROCEED to begin the update process.

> ⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING:  DO NOT power off the MVP during the update process. Once you click "Proceed," be careful not to touch your MVP or the USB cable. Interruption during this process will render the device non-functional.
>
> Wait until the update process is complete and the browser refreshes before touching the device.
