# Updating Books

Understand when updates are needed, available, and how to update a book.

### Overview

Books are **versioned** to ensure stability and reliability. You can choose to upgrade at your own pace, gaining access to enhancements without risking disruptions to your workflows. If an installed or connected book has an available update, a 🔁 icon will appear next to its current version.
