Auto Update Best Practices

It is recommended that Enable Auto Update is enabled on the Settings -> Update Manager page on each of your Replibit devices. It is also recommended that you enable Auto-Enable Remote Assist When Upgrading so that remote access will be available to our development team should something go wrong with your upgrade. This will ensure that your Replibit devices are updated with the latest software enhancements in a timely fashion, and that the Replibit Support team will have a short window of time to access and repair any troublesome devices without requiring user intervention.
