# How to Check and Update Your Agent

### How to Check If Your Agent Is Outdated

First, open your agent options (see how here:[Install the Agent](/install-the-agent.md#how-to-use-agent-options)) and check your currently installed agent version.

Then, open the general [**agent download page**](https://creator.zerowork.io/download-agent) and check what the latest available version is.

If the version displayed on the download page is higher than the version installed on your machine, your agent is outdated.

### How to Update Your Agent

1. In your agent options, click **Check for update** and confirm the prompt to install the new version.
2. After the update, you'll be asked to confirm an agent restart — simply accept, and you're done!

If for any reason the update fails, you can always uninstall your current agent and manually install the latest version from <https://creator.zerowork.io/download-agent>.

✅ Uninstalling and reinstalling the agent will not affect any of your scheduled TaskBots or webhooks.
