Navigator automatically checks for version updates when launched. If one is available, a popup displays that allows you to update to the newest version or keep your current version.
Anaconda recommends keeping Navigator updated to the latest version.

​
Manual update

You can also update Navigator manually through a command line interface (CLI). This can either be done with the update or install commands:
  1. Open Anaconda Prompt (Terminal on macOS/Linux).
  2. If necessary, update the conda package manager in your base environment by running the following command: 
    conda update --name base conda
  3. Update the anaconda-navigator package in your base environment by running the following command: 
    conda update --name base anaconda-navigator
If Navigator is already up to date, your command line will display:
# All requested packages already installed.
If you see the above message, but believe Navigator should have updated, specify the exact version using the instructions in the Install command tab.
