How update extensions

Help

Hi,
I’ve developed and published a Directus extension to npm:

I understand that updates are typically reflected in the marketplace within a few hours or a day. and this work great

But in the /admin/settings/extensions tab where you can see all installed extensions it appear that my extension is not updated appears to be stuck at version 1.0.4 even though version 1.0.10 was published over two weeks ago and 1.0.11 today which I can already see in the market place.

Is there something I need to do to trigger the update ?

If I am correct you can’t update installed extensions (yet) from the marketplace. You would have to uninstall and reinstall.

If you do other ways like via a Dockerfile you would have to update the version you installed and build yourself a new image.

Thank you for your response! I have a follow-up question: If I uninstall and then reinstall the extension, will that break flows where the extension is already being used?

I don’t think so but I would recommend trying it local first (if possible) and make sure to make a backup before execution.

yes i just updated the extension by reinstalling it, it does not break flow. Great, thank for the help
