# Console Updating - SaaS

AIR provides a controlled and predictable update process for SaaS tenants by using **maintenance windows**. These windows allow you to define exactly when updates may occur, helping you align upgrades with organisational change-control processes and minimise operational impact.

All update settings are available from:

**Settings → Update**

## Update Methods

### Auto Update (Recurring Maintenance Window)

**Auto Update** allows AIR to automatically install new versions during a recurring update window that you configure.

When Auto Update is enabled, you can define:

**Time Window**

Select a 30-minute update window (e.g., **02:00–02:30** or **14:00–14:30** (Europe/Istanbul – UTC +03:00)).

Updates will only run within this defined window.

**Days of the Week**

Choose one or more days on which updates are permitted (e.g., Monday–Friday, Saturday only, or Wednesday).

At least one day must be selected.

**How it works:**

When a new version becomes available, AIR identifies the next selected day and applies the update during the time window you have configured.

### One-time Scheduled Update

Use a **One-time Scheduled Update** when you want to apply the next update at a specific upcoming window outside your normal recurring schedule.

* When selected, AIR displays the next available maintenance windows.
* Choose your preferred window and save the configuration.
* The system will update once during that window and then revert to your existing Auto Update settings.

**This option is ideal for:**

* Alignment with a formal change-control event
* Situations where you want to temporarily override your regular update pattern
* Urgent updates that cannot wait for the next recurring window

### Disabling Automatic Updates

If you wish to temporarily halt updates:

* Set **Auto Update** to **off**
* Ensure **One-time Scheduled Update** is not selected

Your tenant will not update until a new maintenance window is configured.

**Note:** Critical or mandatory updates may still be applied to ensure security, stability, or compliance.
{% endhint %}

## Update Status Information

The **Update Settings** page displays your current version, for example:

```
Your system is up-to-date – v5.7.0.xxxxx
```

If an update has been scheduled, the page will show:

* The update version
* The scheduled maintenance window
* Any relevant notifications

{% hint style="warning" %}
Automatic Backup Before SaaS Updates

AIR automatically creates a backup before every SaaS console update. If the update fails, the system can roll back to the previous working state. No manual backup action is required.
{% endhint %}

* **Controlled and predictable updates**
* **Recurring and one-time maintenance window options**
