Update DataGrip
By default, DataGrip is configured to check for updates automatically and notify you when a new version is available. Updates are usually patch-based: they are applied to the existing installation and only require you to restart the IDE. However, sometimes patch updates are not available, and a new version of DataGrip must be installed.
When DataGrip updates to a new major release, it opens the What's New in DataGrip tab in the editor with information about the changes, improvements, and fixes. To open this tab manually, select .
If DataGrip does not have HTTP access outside your local network, it will not be able to check for updates and apply patches. In this case, you have to download new versions of the IDE and install them manually as described in Standalone installation.
