Use this interactive demo to learn how to manually check for and apply Descript updates.

Quick summary

This guide shows you how to update Descript by accessing the Help & Feedback menu and triggering a manual check for updates. Descript also updates automatically when a new version is available and an active internet connection is detected.


Steps

  1. Open your project and select the Menu from the top left of the screen.
  2. Click Help & Feedback from the menu options.
  3. Select Check for updates to manually trigger the update process.
  4. Note that Descript typically updates automatically when a new version is released, as long as you have an active internet connection.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping Descript up to date ensures you always have access to the latest AI-powered video and audio editing features, performance improvements, and security fixes. While Descript automatically installs updates in the background, knowing how to manually check for updates gives users full control over their software version. This is especially important for teams and creators who rely on Descript for professional podcast production, screen recording, and video editing workflows. Running the latest version of Descript minimizes bugs and ensures compatibility with the newest transcription and editing tools.
