How To Auto Update Addons Wow

Addon Details

You can show actress details for an addon past clicking information technology'due south proper noun or by double clicking the row itself. From here you tin can run into the full addon description and a link to the provider's website.

Y'all can also run into the most current changelogs for your selected addon. This is available for almost addon providers.

Some providers as well allow us to show an image gallery so you tin can take a ameliorate idea of what you're getting.

Auto Update

Addons with this symbol will exist updated every hour automatically for you if an update is bachelor.

You tin enable car update by correct clicking the addon and selecting the Auto Update checkbox.

Currently WowUp volition automatically check for new updates once every hr.

Channels

If you desire to attempt addon updates faster than they are available and stable you can modify the addon aqueduct to Blastoff or Beta.

This can be washed by right clicking the addon and selecting Channel > and checking i of the Stable/Alpha/Beta checkboxes.

When you prepare a desired channel it means that you volition accept that level of build (Alpha/Beta/Stable) non that you only desire that channel. And then if you gear up your channel to Alpha, you lot may yet get a stable version installed. WowUp volition install the latest build of an addon regardless of selected channel.

The reason that this is not a strict aqueduct setting is that authors will probable just create new alphas when a new patch is coming out and then stop one time it'due south released. This would get out you stranded on a potentially old version which is non desirable.

Note

This feature only works for providers that offer pre-release versions. This includes WowUpHub and Curseforge.

Multiple Providers

Often referred to as "hot swapping" addons with this symbol have the ability to switch betwixt available providers.

You can switch between providers of this addon by right clicking on the row and selecting Providers.

This operation is essentially the aforementioned as un-installing the existing addon and then re-installing it from the other addon provider. This is merely a simpler way to accomplish that.

Annotation

In gild for this to work the addon writer must put some information in the toc file of their addon so that we can identify what id maps to each provider they choose.

X-Curse-Project-ID

Ignore

You can ignore certain addons that you do non desire to worry about updating, such as very former addons or those maintained in a custom way.

You can ignore an addon by right clicking on it and selecting the Ignore checkbox.

Re-Install

WowUp can remove move the addon and all associated folders from your organisation if yous right click and select Remove.

Alert States

There are various things that can happen causing the addon to be "lost". Typically we see this when a provider (CurseForge, TukUI, etc) removes or blocks an addon.

When this state occurs we volition notify you that something went wrong but non set it to ignored since the provider may fix it on their own.
