Version updating

Unity Engine
1

So according to the editor I’m on version 2017.3.1f1. When I tell it to check for updates it says it’s up to date, yet 2017.4 is the current version. Also according to the online documentation there’s supposed to be a button in the update window to “update” and another to “skip” the update. I see neither of those buttons anywhere within any editor window about updating.

So should I just download the latest and install the current version, which doesn’t seem like a good thing because that might cause serious issues with my work.

How do you update when it says you’re up to date but you’re not?

Those buttons will only show when there’s an update available.
(Which should be, considering that a newer version is available for download. I guess it’s just an error on Unity’s side that they need to fix)

Give it a try. Be sure to backup your Project folder first, just in case the latest version messes up something.
