Components comprising Ultimate Forms undergo a constant process of improvements and upgrades. Once in a while, we will release a new version of the component, accompanied by version history, outlining the changes and improvements included in the release. The upgrade schedule is not constant, with some components receiving more frequent releases than others.
How to know new version is available
NOTE: we post latest releases summary under Support tab of the app, but you still need to download and install using Capability Dashboard as described below. The release summary is provided for information only.
The recommended approach is open Capability Dashboard page located with Central Administration site of your SharePoint farm. Here you will see all components, their licensing info, current and available version and link to download the latest version. Note that SharePoint server must be allowed to access the following document
https://www.infowisesolutions.com/xml/products.xml
If access is prevented by your firewall, the page will be presented with a warning and the available versions will not be up-to-date. In this scenario, you need to manually track the available version for each component on our website (Features -> [component name] -> Versions). You can also download the latest version on the same page.
Installation instructions
Version upgrade is basically identical to initial installation, with the only difference being the installer giving you an option to either upgrade or remove.
Am I required to upgrade?
Generally, it's a good idea to take advantage of the latest features and bug fixes. But if your system is working correctly and you're not undergoing any active development, upgrading is not necessary. Note that if you have any particular issue, our support team will instuct you to upgrade to the latest version as the first step of troubleshooting. Note that upgrading is only available to customers on an active Annual Support plan.
