Update Merch Titans: Restart the App to Get the Latest Version
Merch Titans loads its latest version every time it opens, so restarting the app is how you update it. You never need to reinstall it for an update, and the What's new bell in the title bar and merchtitans.com/docs/changelog show what changed.

Steps
- 1
Check your uploads
Look at Upload Status first. It starts empty after a restart, so note anything you still need from it.
- 2
Close Merch Titans
Click Close at the top right of the window. This quits the app.
- 3
Open it again
Open Merch Titans as usual, with your internet connection on. It loads its latest version as it opens.
- 4
Log in if asked
If you had unticked Keep me logged in, log in with your Merch Titans account.
- 5
See what changed
Click the bell in the title bar and choose Recent updates.
How updates reach you
Every time you open Merch Titans, it downloads its latest version before it shows the login screen or Home. So:
- A restart is the update. Close the app and open it again.
- No reinstall. The installer you downloaded only starts the app; the app itself always comes fresh.
- No update prompt. The app doesn't tell you when a new version is out. The yellow dot on the bell does show when there's a release you haven't opened yet.
- An open app stays on its version. The version you're using is the one that loaded when you opened the app. If you keep Merch Titans open for days, restart it to get the latest.
- Your work is kept. The first time a new version opens, it clears its stored page files. Your sign-ins, settings and saved work stay.
Because the app loads itself at launch, it needs an internet connection every time it opens.
See what changed
Click the bell, What's new, at the right of the title bar. A yellow dot on it means there's a release you haven't opened yet on this computer.
- Recent updates shows the newest 3 releases, each with its date, title and a list of changes.
- Changelog shows every update so far.
The same notes are on the website at merchtitans.com/docs/changelog, newest first. The App tour covers the rest of the window.
If the app doesn't open after a restart
If Merch Titans can't load while it opens, the window shows "Merch Titans couldn't start. Please check your internet connection and try again." Check your connection and click Try again.
More fixes are in Troubleshooting.
