Updates to SQL Source Control are normally released every few months. If you want to get updates more often, you can turn on frequent updates.

Installing an update is always optional, whether or not you're using frequent updates.

We recommend turning on frequent updates if you want to:

• get new features, performance improvements and bug fixes as soon as they are available
• give feedback on new features and help shape the future of SQL Source Control

The method to configure frequent updates varies in different versions of SQL Source Control:

• Configuring frequent updates in version 5.3 and below
• Configuring frequent updates in version 5.4 and above
