            Check for Desktop Client Updates

            Desktop clients such as Salesforce for Outlook and Connect Offline integrate Salesforce with your PC. Your administrator controls which desktop clients you are allowed to install.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Salesforce Classic
            Available in: All Editions except for Database.com
            User Permissions Needed
            To view client update alerts:

            On, updates w/alerts

            OR

            On, must update w/alerts

            on your profile

            If your administrator enabled Home tab alerts, an alert banner displays on your Home tab when a new client version is available.

            You can also see which clients are installed on your computer and check for updates on your own.

            1. From your personal settings, enter Check for Updates in the Quick Find box, then select Check for Updates.
            2. From the table, review the names and version numbers of available desktop clients.
            3. If you are using Internet Explorer, click the correct desktop client and then click Install Now to install a client. If you are using another browser such as Mozilla Firefox, click Download Now to save the installer file to your computer. To run the installer program, double-click the saved file.

            After you install the update, the alert banner displays on your Home tab until you log in through the newly updated client.
