Use this topic to learn how to receive updates to Bootstrap version in Dreamweaver and starter templates as soon as they are available.
Adobe provides updates on an on-going basis to keep Dreamweaver up-to-date with the ever-evolving technology. For example, updates to Bootstrap libraries or starter templates.
You can download and install In-App updates automatically or manually. The Dreamweaver preferences dialog box lets you specify the mode of update, enable, or disable In-App updates.
In-App updates are installed in the following locations:
- Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2015\en_US\Configuration\Updates\
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC 2015/en_US/Configuration/Updates/
Automatic update
When you choose automatic update, the download and install of In-App updates are transparent. When an In-App update becomes available, it is downloaded automatically. You will be notified about the status of the installation when you launch Dreamweaver next.
Note:
The image above is only indicative and illustrates an example of an In-App update installation when it becomes available.
The success or failure notifications are auto-dismissed after a few seconds. If you want to verify if the installation is succesful, check the Current Version number in the In-App update preferences (Edit > Preferences (Win); Dreamweaver > Preferences (Mac)).
Manual update
When you choose manual update, Dreamweaver notifies you when an In-App update becomes available. You can choose to download and install the update immediately or at a later point in time.
Note:

When you click Update, the in-app update is only downloaded. The update is installed and is available for use only after you relaunch Dreamweaver.
The success or failure notifications are auto-dismissed after a few seconds. If you want to verify if the installation is succesful, check the Current Version number in the In-App update preferences (Edit > Preferences (Win); Dreamweaver > Preferences (Mac)).
