Enhanced Update Options
On the
page, you can now disable automatic updates. If there are pending software updates, the
Available version section will list updates that have not
been applied. Selecting the update button for a specific available
update will upgrade the appliance to that software revision.


Important: Sophos recommends you select
Enable automatic updates. If you choose to only update manually, you
should still apply updates in a timely manner. If
Enable automatic updates is not selected:
- Critical updates, which can include very important security enhancements, will not be
automatically installed.
- Updating to the latest revision can be a lengthy process, as each available update
will be applied one at a time until the system is at the current revision, including
reboots for those that require it.
- When contacting support, you will need to update to the latest revision to properly
troubleshoot any issue.
