Here are your easiest ways to set and apply automatic or manual updates. Once you set up how you prefer to stay updated, it should be less of a chore in the future.

How to Update LibreOffice Automatically

This method is your easiest option for updating LibreOffice. Automatic updates should be the default. You can double-check your settings to make sure Automatic updates are selected. When an update is available, an icon in the menu bar pops up. Click this icon or message to begin downloading available updates. If LibreOffice is configured to download the files automatically, the download starts immediately. 

How to Choose Manual Updates for LibreOffice

While automatic updates are recommended, it is also fairly simple to manually update your LibreOffice programs. You just have to remember to do it.

How to Update Extensions

It is possible you may need to manually update LibreOffice extensions from time to time. Extensions are optional features you can install to the core LibreOffice suite, to expand what it can do.  Again, extensions can cause glitches if they do not stay updated, but the good news is running either update method should also update your extensions.  Problems? Make sure you are logged in as the administrator. You will most likely need to have administrator rights on your computer to download updates for LibreOffice.
