On the right-side pane, choose one of the options below based on where the packages are available:

❗ Before starting installation or updates, ensure only Connected Insights - Local software package(s) are available in one of the supported package locations specified above.
Click Check for Updates.
The application displays the compatible Connected Insights - Local software package(s) with an Install Now button next to each. Additionally, there is an Install All button which installs or updates all the dependent packages available within the selected location.
The Install All option is not provided when a higher version of Connected Insights - Local software package is available under the selected package location. In such cases, the Connected Insights - Local software must be installed followed by the dependent packages.
Select Install Now or Install All based on the options provided.
A confirmation pop-up will appear displaying the approximate time for installing or updating the selected package(s) and states the application will be inaccessible during this time.
Click Install Now in the confirmation pop-up.
❗ The application checks for the conditions below and only proceeds when the validations are successful. If one or multiple are not met, a pop-up window appears indicating the error and installation/updating will be blocked. Select Close, fix the conditions below, and try again.

If an update for an existing package fails, the application will automatically try to revert to the previous version of the package.

If the rollback process also fails, the application will display an "Update Failed" message and restrict access to the application. For further troubleshooting contact Illumina Support.
