## Update Packages

Use Update Packages to check and install updates for shared KINEMATION dependencies used by {productName_0}. The tool discovers <code>kinemation-package.json</code> manifests below <code>Assets/KINEMATION</code>.

Open **{menuPath_0}**, then select **General > Update Packages**.

</Frame>

Each card shows the package name, installed path and version, remote status, available action, and release notes.

## Check and update

<Steps>
  <Step title="Refresh package status">
    Click **Check for Updates**. The tool reads each local manifest and requests its remote HTTPS manifest.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review versions">
    Expand **Release notes**. An arrow shows installed and available versions when an update exists.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install updates">
    Click **Update** on one package, or **Update All** for every available update.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for import">
    Keep Unity open while the tool downloads and imports the packages. The card reports progress.
  </Step>
</Steps>

When installed and remote versions match, the action becomes **Reinstall**. Use it to restore an incomplete or damaged dependency.

<Warning>
  Update and Reinstall download a <code>.unitypackage</code> into <code>Library/KINEMATION/Packages</code> and import it without Unity's package dialog. The import can replace files inside that dependency folder. Keep custom work outside shared KINEMATION dependency folders.
</Warning>

An up-to-date package displays a green dot and **Up to date**. Failures appear on the package card and in the Console.
