Jolicloud is designed to provide the best experience for your netbook. Every time we can we improve drivers, applications, performances and we want to make sure that it’s done the easiest way. We are happy to announce that we have improved the update experience by introducing a new Jolicloud Updates web app. As you will see, it benefits from the new Jolicloud design that will be deployed later on all Jolicloud applications.

The update process is super easy, you just need to check the notification area with the Jolicloud Updates icon: Jolicloud Updates Icon

The process is pretty straight forward.

New updatesWhen it’s orange, you have new updates

No updatesWhen it’s grey, you have no new updates

When you click on the icon, you access to the Jolicloud Updates web app.

To update the updater (sorry we couldn’t resist), you just need to click on ‘Update All’ with the previous process and restart your session.

Thank you for staying up-to-date and happy Joliclouding!
