Updating Extensions

If an extension is available for you to update, you can update it from the Extensions tab of the Options dialog box.

Note:

Your Oracle Smart View for Office system administrator controls the extensions available to you and your options for updating extensions. If installation is automatic, then you need only complete the first two steps in this topic. If installation is optional, complete all the steps in this topic.

To check for extension updates and install them:

1. From the Smart View ribbon, select Options, and then Extensions.
2. To update extensions, perform one of these tasks:

   • Click the Check for Updates, New Installs, and Uninstalls link to immediately check for updates to all your available extensions and any new extensions.

   • Select the Check for updates when Microsoft Office starts check box.

     Smart View performs a check for extension updates each time you start an Office application.

3. Perform an action:

   • If your administrator has set up extensions to automatically install after checking for updates, follow the prompts to close and reopen the Office application.

     You do not need to do anything further.

   • If your administrator has set up optional extension installation updates, then continue with step 4.

4. Review the list of extensions and where you see , click the Update Available link to launch the installer.
5. Follow the prompts to install the extension.

   When updates are available, you are prompted to download the extension installer, close the Office application, and run the installer.

   After restarting the Office application, the extension appears as Enabled in the Extensions page of the Options dialog box.
