From time to time, there may be updates to the bot. This is usually due to retailers making changes to their websites or general improvements to our software. This articles explains how to update the bot to the latest version.
Automatic updates
Updates for the bot are automatic, simply close the bot and re-open the bot for any pending updates.
All new versions and changes will be announced in our Discord group's #πβupdates channel.

There will also be a popup window in the bot the next time you restart it, which will detail that there's an update available and the changes that have been made.
Simply click the 'Download' button to proceed with the update or click 'Maybe Later' to ignore it for now.

Backing up your data
You don't need to backup your data if you're doing an automatic update. However, If you ever need to do a manual update or if you're moving to a different computer, then you will need to backup your data.
To backup your data, make a copy of the following files which can be found in the bot folder and in the 'Data' folder.
Once you've installed a new version of the bot manually, then paste the files back into the new 'Data' folder.
