# How-to: Update RetroDECK
<img src="../../wiki_icons/pixelitos/folder-blue-sync.png" width="75">
There are several ways to update RetroDECK.
## Software Manager (Recommended)
Updates are handled automatically via your distribution's software manager.
- **Optional Steam Deck Step** Switch to `Desktop Mode`: `Steam button` -> `Power` -> `Switch to Desktop`.
- Open the Discover or your software manager.
- Click on the updates tab.
- If there are any updates available, they will be shown here.
- Click on the `Update` or `Update all` button.
## Terminal
Type, `flatpak update -y` to update all installed flatpaks.
## Steam Deck - Decky: AutoFlatpaks
If you have Decky installed and the AutoFlatpaks plugin, you can update RetroDECK from there via `Game Mode`.

## Questions
### Updating After a Long Time?
If you haven't updated RetroDECK for a very long time (a year or more), it's better to uninstall and reinstall it from your software manager instead of upgrading.
### Updating Specific Systems in RetroDECK?
You cannot update specific systems directly in RetroDECK. You will need to wait for new versions of RetroDECK to be released.
