Schedule app updates

Last updated on Sep 2, 2025

Learn how to schedule Creative Cloud app updates, so that your apps can update automatically later.

If you receive an update notification for your Creative Cloud apps, you can schedule the update for a later time when you aren’t using your apps.

Note

You can schedule an app update for later only if the Auto-update option is turned off.

In the Home tab, select Updates in the right panel, and then hover over Update for the app you want to update.

In the expanded menu, select Later to schedule your app updates.

The Updates window shows the pop-up menu to update an app now or later after hovering over the Update button.
You can also right-click the Update button to open the pop-up menu.

Your app moves to the Scheduled updates section in the Updates window. You get a confirmation message that your app will be updated when it's no longer in use.

The Creative Cloud desktop app will attempt to update your app later when the app isn't running.
