Notes on Updates

When updating a project, please keep the following in mind:

• Updates fix bugs and add features to UNITE.
• Changes in UNITE may alter the behavior of your completed game.
• If the Unite Launcher is closed during the update, the project may become corrupted.
• If you have made direct modifications to UNITE, those changes may be overwritten during the update. Please be especially careful.
• It is recommended to create a backup or use version control to ensure recoverability before updating.

Once you are ready, control-click on the project and select "Upgrade Project"

If the project is already using the latest version of UNITE, the "Upgrade Project" option will not be available. For projects that can be updated, the following screen will appear:

Review the notes carefully, check the box if there are no issues, and select "Execute Update." The update process will begin, and the version of UNITE included in the project will be updated.

Opening the Project Folder

Use this feature if you want to directly check the project. You can open the folder containing the project's Assets folder directly in Finder.

This feature does not make any changes to the project.
