The Online Update Utility allows you to install new plugins in Qxtender, update existing plugins, and update Qxtender and its components.

No user information is logged by Qtools during this process.

Select "Check for Updates" from the "Online Updates" menu.

The Online Update utility opens. Just follow the instructions in green at the top of the window.

Click the "Check for Updates" button.

A connection will be made to the Qtools update server, using your default internet connection. The status bar will indicate the connection progress.

(Note: If you connect to the internet via a proxy server, enter the proxy server information in the "Online Settings" tab.)

When the check for updates process completes, a list of available updates to Qxtender and your installed plugins will be displayed.

Checked items will be download and updated when you click "Get Updates."

Grayed-out checked items are mandatory application component updates.

Other plugins available from Qtools that you do not have installed will be displayed in a separate list.

The download and update progress is displayed in the lower right-hand area.

When it completes, update messages will be shown in the lists.

All plugins and most application components are installed "hot" and become immediately available without having to exit Qxtender.

To download new plugins, simply check the box next to the plugin in the lower list. Then click "Get Updates."

If no updates are necessary to Qxtender or your installed plugins, the following messages will appear after them in the list.
